How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the control area.

Check for physical sticking: Press each button individually to feel for sticking or lack of tactile response.
Clean panel: Wipe the control surface with a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
Power cycle: Turn off the breaker for 5–10 minutes, then restore power and test.

If F7 returns or certain keys remain stuck logically, the keypad or UI board must be replaced. This is a straightforward panel swap but should be done with power disconnected.
