Possible Causes

Stuck or damaged buttons, Contamination under touch panel, Firmware freeze, Faulty keypad/touch controller on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No mains exposure is needed if you do not remove the thermostat.

Steps to restore button/touch response:

  • 1. Reboot the thermostat:
    • Turn off power at the breaker for 1–2 minutes and restore.
  • 2. Try app control:
    • Use the Fibaro app to change temperature and modes.
    • If app control works, the issue is limited to the local interface.
  • 3. Clean the surface:
    • Wipe the front panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt or residue that may affect touch sensitivity.
  • 4. Check for physical damage:
    • Inspect for cracks or impact marks on the front panel.
  • 5. Replace front interface module:
    • If buttons remain unresponsive, the keypad/touch controller is likely faulty and the front module or entire thermostat should be replaced.

When to call a professional: If the thermostat is part of a managed building system, coordinate replacement with the system integrator to maintain configuration.
