Hi, I'm trying to fix a 25 oven's control board. The problem is that the rotary encoder that controls the timer misfires when rotated, making it hard to use.
I've fixed encoders before by cleaning their contacts or just replacing them, but the problem here is that it seems to be covered by a plastic case, and there are no visible pins to desolder, only 4 plastic pins that I cut hoping that would help release the plastic cover, but didn't help at all.
Any idea of how to disassemble or desolder it?
I attached some photos for clarification; the text in the case says DIEHL, which seems to be the company that built it. In the last photo, the encoder is located under the caps, in the bottom left of the board.
It seems that there are some traces going under it, so it might be an SMD component, but I find it a bit weird and unnecessary since it would be the only component on the board.
