hwh control panel

Hello, I have just started having issues with the control panel. I need to push the level button many times before it will activate. I am thinking the push button controls are worn out although once it starts to work everything seems to be fine. I Wondered if any one has had this issue?

Make certain that the ribbon cable is firmly attached to the back of the control panel.

Having the same issue with mine. Sent the panel and control box back to HWH. Like Folivier said check that all connections are tight.

Those panels are replaceable.  About $100 if I recall.

If the panel face is cracked up I paid $15 for a replacement when I sent my unit in for repairs.

This is slightly off the original topic of switching problems but goes along with what Folivier addressed.  I bought a new overlay for the keypad on my HWH because the two buttons that were most often used were wearing through.  HWH sells the sticky backed overlay very inexpensively and replacing it is quite easy.  Replacing it really spruces up that corner of the instrument panel. 

I have a before photo but not the after.  Suffice it to say that it now looks like a brand new HWH.

What would cause mine to have red lights stay on and buzzer constantly going off? Won't stop buzzing until I shut it off
