Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the top or control panel.

  • Power reset: Leave the unit unplugged for at least 5 minutes, then reconnect and try again. Sometimes transient faults clear with a reset.
  • Inspect control connections: Remove the top panel and, if necessary, the control panel fascia. Locate the ribbon cable or wiring harness connecting the user interface to the main control board. Ensure all connectors are fully seated and free of corrosion or moisture.
  • Dry moisture: If you see condensation or water near the control, dry gently with a cloth and allow the unit to air dry for several hours before reassembly.
  • Check for damage: Look for burnt components or cracked solder joints on the control boards. If found, the affected board should be replaced.

Because control board replacement requires correct part selection and handling of static-sensitive electronics, it is often best left to a professional technician.
