Likely causes
- Stuck or failed keypanel button
- Moisture or damage to the touch pad
- Keypanel connection fault
Safe checks you can do
Safety: Do not remove panels or work on wiring. A breaker reset is the only power step an owner should do. On a gas range, if you smell gas, do not switch anything on or off; leave and call your gas company from outside.
- Switch off the breaker for a minute or two, then restore power.
- Keep the panel dry; do not spray cleaner directly on it.
- If the code returns, leave the breaker off and schedule service.
When to call a pro
- The code returns or buttons stop responding
- Any time you smell burning or gas, see sparks, or would need to open a panel
