How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before removing the display panel.

  • Clean surface: Wipe the control panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the panel.
  • Check for lock mode: Ensure the control lock or child lock is not enabled.
  • Inspect connections: Remove the bezel and check the ribbon cable between the keypad and UI board. Reseat it firmly.
  • Look for moisture: If condensation or liquid is present behind the panel, dry it carefully and allow time before reassembly.
  • Replace UI board: If buttons remain unresponsive, replace the user interface board or keypad assembly with the correct Fisher & Paykel part.
