Take out the display board from the panel & open it up. Look at the copper tracks around the area of those buttons. I am sure you will find corrosion there as that is a common fault. Cleaning & scraping the corrosion away will sometimes work for a while but best result would be have the board proffessionally repaired or buy a new board.
