Possible Causes
Unresponsive 'Start' button on the touch panel, Door/basket switch not detected, Firmware glitch in the control board, Loose ribbon cable to the control panel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening the control panel.
- Step 1 – Confirm basket insertion: Ensure the basket/drawer is fully inserted and latched. Remove and reinsert it firmly.
- Step 2 – Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes, then plug it back in and attempt to start a simple manual cook cycle.
- Step 3 – Test other buttons: If other buttons respond but 'Start' does not, the touch control panel may have a failed key.
- Step 4 – Inspect panel connections: Remove the front fascia and reseat the ribbon cable between the touch panel and main control board.
- Step 5 – Replace components: Replace a defective touch control panel assembly. If the panel is good but the unit still will not start, replace the main control board.
Warning: Do not apply excessive force to the touch panel; this can crack the membrane.
