Cooktop Touch Controls Not Working? Safe Steps
Dry and unlock the surface
Remove cookware, dry the control area and check the control-lock symbol in the manual. Try one normal power reset only if the manufacturer recommends it.
Interface faults can mimic control faults
The touch surface, ribbon connection, power supply and main control can all affect response. Record which buttons work and any displayed code.
Isolate uncontrollable heat
If an element cannot be turned off, shut power at the breaker. Otherwise book diagnosis when the panel remains blank, frozen or intermittent.

Cooktop Touch Controls Not Working? Safe Steps — quick answers
Can water make touch controls stop responding?
Yes. Dry the surface as the manual directs, but keep the cooktop off if response remains erratic.
What if a burner stays on?
Turn the appliance off at the breaker and do not use it until repaired.
Should I spray cleaner on the panel?
No. Apply only approved cleaner to a cloth as directed, never directly into control edges.
