Error Codes (F10): Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.
Meaning of Stuck Key Press Error❓
The "Stuck Key Press" error occurs when the appliance detects that one or more keys on the control panel are continuously activated or unresponsive. This could be due to physical debris stuck under the button, a faulty keypad membrane, liquid damage, or an internal short within the control panel. In many cases, the appliance will beep repeatedly, lock you out of input, or fail to start a function. This issue is commonly seen in ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers with digital or capacitive touch panels. The system halts operations as a safety measure to avoid accidental commands or overheating.
