I can barely see it. I think if I put something sticky on a coat hanger I might be able to get it.

But I'm done with this. I don't like the panel anyway as changing from hot to cold is about 65 button presses.

I think this is a common problem, and I looked earlier at repair options and just ended up being confused. It seemed really hard and worse to attempt to repair these buttons. :confused:

Is there a good way to fix this short of replacing the entire control unit? If I have to replace the entire unit I believe there is a nice analog one from some rare earlier models with three dials. I would rather just get that and put that in but I imagine this would require some coding and potentially other changes? Does anybody know?

Replacement buttons are available. I purchased some when a couple of mine kept falling off. Popped the new ones on and was good to go.
