Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the control panel or top cover.
Step-by-step checks:
- Power reset: Disconnect power for 5–10 minutes, then reconnect to see if the error clears.
- Check connectors: Remove the top cover and control panel to access the UI and main PCB. Reseat all ribbon cables and harness connectors between the boards.
- Inspect for damage: Look for burnt components, corrosion, or moisture on the boards. If present, the affected board will likely need replacement.
- Test buttons and knob: Ensure the program selector and buttons operate correctly and are not stuck, which can confuse the UI.
When to call a technician: Board-level diagnostics and replacement are best handled by a qualified technician, especially if firmware programming is required.
