Possible Causes
Stuck or shorted keypad, incorrect control board replacement, UI firmware mismatch, moisture in console
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the console.
- Keypad test: With power on, press each button individually and observe if the display responds correctly. If some keys do not respond or trigger other functions, the UI is likely faulty.
- Dry the console: If the console has been exposed to steam or spills, unplug the unit and allow it to dry for 24 hours. Do not use heat guns directly on electronics.
- Verify correct parts: If a board was recently replaced, confirm that the correct Kenmore part number and version were installed for your model.
- Replace UI board: If keys remain erratic, replace the user interface board.
