As far as I know (and I've read what I can), we are still unclear what is the root cause of this 'skipping'. The other faults (broken splines and faulty display) seem better understood. Can anyone explain a theory why they skip, and what the prognosis is in the short / long term?
Is your control panel menu still skipping or does the problem appear to have gone away? I have a theory as I was convinced that I had the same problem - now I'm not sure if it was all in my head.
I think it is the rather counter intuitive menu and the way it interacts with the rotary control (selector knob) that is at the heart of this. When I turn the knob clockwise I expect the highlighted menu bar to move down the display and conversely when I turn it anticlockwise I expect it to move up. In reality the highlight bar does not move but instead the menu items in the list scroll up or down behind the highlighted bar. Following me? Once you think about it in those terms it all works without any perceived skipping of menu items.
When another forum member has suggested that their control panel did this from new but appears to be getting better, is this because the user is becoming accustomed to the way the user interface is designed??
Further, I know these units are flaky to put it mildly as I've recently had to replace one myself (eBay and DIY) but it is worth noting that the operation of both the 4 switches around the display panel and the select (press) operation of the rotary control itself can all be fine tuned by adjusting the tightness of the screws that secure the front bezel to the circuit board behind. I don't speak Spanish as such but I inferred as much from the YouTube video below:
Hope that's useful to someone
