Possible Causes

Worn or damaged membrane switches, moisture ingress into the control panel, loose ribbon cable to the main board, faulty UI PCB.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power before removing the control panel.

  • Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes, reconnect, and test; minor glitches can clear.
  • Clean the panel surface: Wipe with a slightly damp cloth; do not allow liquid to enter around the buttons.
  • Access the UI board:
    • Remove the top cover.
    • Unscrew and gently pull out the control panel.
    • Check the ribbon cable connection to the main board.
  • Inspect for moisture or corrosion: If present, dry carefully; if corrosion is severe, replace the UI board.

Note: Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the control panel; apply to a cloth first.
