Possible Causes

Stuck or shorted control buttons, Contaminated keypad contacts from moisture, Damaged UI PCB traces, Faulty main PCB input circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: Disconnect power before opening the control panel.

Steps:

  • 1. Check for stuck buttons: Press each control button several times. If any feel stuck or do not click, they may be mechanically jammed.
  • 2. Remove the control panel: Carefully remove the front panel to expose the keypad or UI PCB. Inspect for signs of liquid spills or condensation.
  • 3. Clean contacts: If the keypad uses a membrane or rubber dome, gently clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Allow to dry completely.
  • 4. Inspect PCB: Look for corroded or lifted traces around the button contacts. If damage is extensive, replace the UI PCB.
  • 5. Test after reassembly: Refit the panel, restore power, and test each button. If E14 remains and buttons do not respond, the main PCB input circuit may be faulty and require replacement.

Note: Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the control panel; apply to a cloth first.
