Possible Causes

Activated child lock, Faulty touch control PCB, Disconnected control ribbon cable, Failed function selector switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you need to remove the control panel, isolate the oven from mains power.

Steps to check:

  • Child lock: Refer to the Tower manual and try the key combination to disable child lock (often holding a specific button for several seconds).
  • Power reset: Turn off power for 5 minutes, then restore and test.
  • Ribbon cable: Remove the control fascia and check that the ribbon cable between the touch panel and main PCB is firmly connected.
  • Selector switch: On knob models, test the function selector switch for continuity in different positions. Replace if no contacts close.
