Possible Causes

Failed display/keypad module, Damaged ribbon cable between UI and main board, Moisture intrusion into control panel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before removing the front control panel.

  • 1. Inspect for moisture: Look for signs of water leaks above the control panel. Fix any plumbing leaks before replacing electronics.
  • 2. Check ribbon cable: Remove the display/keypad assembly and inspect the ribbon cable for kinks, corrosion, or broken traces. Reseat both ends firmly.
  • 3. Test buttons: With power restored, try each button. If none respond and wiring is intact, the UI module is likely defective.
  • 4. Replace UI module: Order the correct John Wood display/keypad assembly for your model. Transfer any mounting hardware and gasket to ensure a proper seal against moisture.
  • 5. Verify operation: After replacement, reprogram temperature and confirm that error E009 is cleared and controls respond normally.
