Einhell Control Keypad / Switch Failure

Hour meter and indicators work, but start/stop buttons on panel do not respond

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

Worn membrane keypad, Broken start/stop switch contacts, Damaged control PCB traces, Liquid ingress into panel

Safety first: Isolate the generator and remove battery negative before panel work.

Inspect panel surface: Look for cracks, wear, or signs of moisture on the keypad area.
Test switches: From the rear of the panel, use a multimeter to check continuity of the start/stop switches when pressed.
Dry panel: If moisture is present, dry the panel thoroughly and improve enclosure sealing.

Non‑functional switches usually require replacement of the keypad or entire Einhell control panel.
