This is unfortunately pretty common. It is caused by a bad connection with the panel and the wiring. I was able to fix mine by just pushing the panel backwards to make a better connection.

Since you already have the panel out, just clean the connections well and add some dielectric grease and make sure your connectors are making good contact.

That should do it. If not, then you have to start performing the diagnostic steps from the manual.
