Possible Causes
Child lock (key lock) activated, Faulty Start/Pause button, Defective user interface PCB, Loose ribbon cable between UI and main board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any control panels.
- Check for child lock: Look for a key or lock symbol on the display. Deactivate by holding the specified button combination (refer to your Teka manual, often pressing and holding two buttons for several seconds).
- Try different programs: Select another cycle and press Start/Pause firmly. If some buttons respond and others do not, the keypad may be faulty.
- Inspect UI connections: Remove the top cover and gently pull the control fascia forward. Ensure the ribbon cable is fully inserted and not damaged.
Warning: If the UI board is defective, replacement requires careful handling of delicate connectors. Consider professional service.
