Front-control panels take more wear than top-control ones because they are exposed to steam and to cleaning sprays. Unresponsive buttons are usually the membrane, and it is replaced as an assembly.
Odour between uses is usually food film in the filter and around the door edge rather than a drain fault. Cleaning the filter and wiping the gasket weekly resolves most cases. If a musty smell persists after cleaning, the drain path is checked for standing water.
