How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing the front control panel.

  • Inspect keypad and display: Look for signs of water intrusion, cracked display, or unresponsive buttons.
  • Check ribbon cable: Carefully remove the front panel and reseat the flat ribbon cable or harness connecting the user interface to the main control board.
  • Dry moisture: If condensation is present, gently dry the area and improve weather protection around the heater.
  • Replace UI board: If F12 persists and buttons remain unresponsive, the user interface board or keypad assembly will likely need replacement.
