Stuck function key

Power cycle at breaker for 60 seconds
Press each button firmly to identify any physically stuck key
Clean around button edges with a slightly damp cloth to remove grease residue
Disconnect keypanel ribbon cable — if F7 clears, keypanel membrane is faulty
Pro Diagnostic Tip
F7 indicates a stuck function key (as opposed to F0 which is any stuck key). Note which function was last used — that specific button section of the membrane is likely delaminating.
