We have lost so many of these I was running out of room to store them. I finally had to dissect one to see what was causing the failure. Here's what happens: the C46 Capacitor on the control board shorts and causes the 20 Ohm R58 resistor to open. This is what causes the screen to go out. Siemens must have bought a bad batch of capacitors because thousands of these units have failed all over the country for the same reason. The good news is that if you return the starters to your vendor they can send them to Siemens and they will repair them for free. I have about 15 or 20 repaired starters on the shelf now that are warranty repaired. The down side is, it takes about 2 months to get the starters back from Siemens.
