A customer in Currumbin contacted ISB Electrical because their Midea ceramic cooktop touch panel was not responding properly. The cooktop controls were difficult to operate, and the customer could not reliably switch or adjust the cooking zones.
Ceramic cooktops with touch controls rely on clean electrical contacts, good connector condition and stable communication between the touch panel and the main electronic control board. When the touch panel is contaminated or the connectors are affected, the cooktop may not respond to normal commands.
The fault was caused by cockroach contamination affecting the touch panel connectors and contacts. Contamination around the control connections was interfering with the touch panel operation.
Cockroach contamination can cause poor contact, corrosion, electrical tracking and short circuit issues around electronic controls. In this case, the touch control connectors and contacts required cleaning to restore proper communication.
The affected touch panel connectors and contacts were cleaned. After cleaning, the Midea ceramic cooktop was tested to confirm the touch panel response improved and the cooktop controls operated correctly.
The customer was advised that if cockroach contamination returns or the electronic board has already been damaged, further repair or replacement of the touch control module or PCB may be required.
