My problem today is that I am in need of the touchpad itself. I have found the Range Control Panel that replaces the whole front face panel that includes the touchpad controls. The cost that this entails is not acceptable.

Is their another way to repair the button pressed to increase the temperature? All other buttons work with no problems.

So either repairing this button itself or replacing the touchpad.

Are there any options out there were this touchpad can be swapped for an all new touch panel that provides the same functionality but at a reasonable expense?

I do possess some soldering skills and handy with a dremel tool.

Thank You for your time and any help that others may provide.

I have replaced the control board on this oven three times now and the temp probe twice. Having repeated expenses on this unit has come to be expected but the prices ranging from over $600 to $1200 for the whole control button assembly is just ridiculous.

thanks again for your time

Of course, clean the contacts on the ribbon first!

You could also add in a miniature momentary contact button.  You might not even have to solder it, see if there is a way to attach it into where the ribbon goes.
