Possible Causes
Stuck or shorted keypad button, Moisture intrusion into control panel, Loose keypad ribbon cable, Failed user interface PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cooler before opening the control panel.
Steps to address 'Er' or 'Err':
- 1. Dry the control area: If condensation or a spill reached the control panel, wipe it dry and allow several hours with the unit unplugged for moisture to evaporate.
- 2. Inspect the keypad: Check for physically stuck buttons. Gently press each button several times to free it.
- 3. Access the user interface board: Remove the screws securing the control panel and carefully pull it forward.
- 4. Check the ribbon cable: Ensure the keypad ribbon cable is fully inserted and locked into its connector on the display/UI board.
- 5. Visual inspection: Look for corrosion, burnt spots, or cracked traces on the keypad and display PCB.
- 6. Replace the UI board if necessary: If the error persists after drying and reseating cables, replace the Insignia user interface/control panel assembly.
Tip: Avoid spraying cleaners directly on the control panel; spray onto a cloth first to prevent liquid from entering the electronics.
