If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Contaminated keypad surface, liquid spill into the touch panel, worn membrane switch, shorted key circuit on the UI board.

Safety: Turn off power before cleaning or disassembling.

Clean the keypad: With power off, clean the keypad with a soft cloth lightly dampened with a mild soap solution. Do not allow liquid to run into the edges.
Dry thoroughly: Allow several hours of drying time with the door open and power off if a spill occurred.
Test keys: Restore power and test each key. If one key triggers the error or does not respond, the keypad is likely defective.
Replace the keypad/UI: Remove the control panel and replace the keypad or full user interface assembly as specified for your KitchenAid model.
