Possible Causes
Worn start/stop button switch, Moisture under keypad, Disconnected keypad ribbon cable, Faulty top control PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn the robot OFF and remove it from the dock.
- 1. Try app control: If the robot responds to commands from the Rowenta app or remote, the main board is likely fine and the issue is with the physical buttons.
- 2. Dry out: If the robot was recently cleaned with liquid, allow it to dry for 24–48 hours in a warm, dry place.
- 3. Internal inspection: Remove the top cover to access the keypad PCB. Check that the ribbon cable is firmly seated.
- 4. Replace keypad PCB: If the cable is secure but buttons still do not work, replace the top control / keypad PCB.
