SMEG User Interface Malfunction

Washer displays incorrect time or program information, or buttons respond unpredictably, but no specific error code appears.

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

Moisture in control panel, Worn or stuck buttons, Faulty user interface PCB, Loose ribbon cable to main board

Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the control panel.

Dry out panel: If the panel has been exposed to steam or spills, leave the washer unplugged with the door and drawer open for 24 hours to dry.
Clean buttons: Wipe around buttons and the display with a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
Check connections: Remove the top cover and gently reseat the ribbon cable between the UI and main PCB.

If erratic behavior continues, the user interface board may need replacement.
