Bissell Control Panel Input Failure

Robot vacuum's top buttons or touch controls are unresponsive, but the robot still charges.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty touch panel or button PCB, Disconnected ribbon cable, Liquid ingress damaging controls, Firmware lockup

Safety first: Ensure the robot is not in the middle of a cleaning cycle.

Try app control: If the robot responds to app commands, the issue is likely with the physical control panel.
Power cycle: Turn the robot off and back on to clear any temporary lockup.
Inspect for spills: Look for signs of liquid around the control panel. If present, discontinue use and allow the unit to dry thoroughly.
If buttons remain dead: Replace the top control panel assembly or have a technician reseat the ribbon cable and test the panel.
