Possible Causes

Loose or damaged ribbon cable between UI and main PCB, Faulty display/control panel, Faulty main control board (PCB)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before removing the control panel or top cover.

Procedure:

  • Access UI panel: Carefully unclip or unscrew the front control/display panel. Support it so as not to strain the cables.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Check for kinks, cracks, or corrosion on the connectors. Reseat both ends of the cable.
  • Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or liquid ingress on the PCB. Dry gently if slightly damp; if corroded, the panel may need replacement.
  • Reconnect and test: Reassemble, restore power, and test button response. If E10 remains, the UI board or main PCB may be defective.
  • Replace faulty board: Replace the display/control panel first (most common). If that does not resolve the issue, the main PCB may require replacement by a technician.

Warning: Avoid touching exposed electronic components with bare hands to prevent static damage.
