Possible Causes
Capacitive touch panel contaminated with moisture or cleaning chemicals, Damaged touch sensor IC, Loose front panel connection to main PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before opening the housing.
Steps:
- Clean surface: Gently clean the front panel with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid solvents or sprays directly on the device.
- Dry out moisture: If condensation is present (e.g., in bathrooms), allow the thermostat to dry with power off for several hours.
- Reseat connectors: Open the housing (if serviceable) and reseat any ribbon cables between the UI board and main PCB.
- Use app control: If hardware buttons remain unreliable, use the Meross app as a workaround until the UI board can be replaced.
Resolution: Replace the display/touch interface board if physical damage or persistent malfunction is present.
