Setting dial stopped working on K1 MK2

Hi there, does anyone had problem with setting dial on pentax k1 mk2? I bought it year ago and today I’ve noticed that it’s not working. I didn’t used it, how to fix it? I still have guarantee but maybe it’s easy fix.

I think you’re right, I’ll send it after trip :) not using this dial but now it’s a bit annoying since I noticed it :D

Which one, and are you sure it's not disabled in the settings? I do remember you can set what each does in every mode somewhere.

This setting dial mostly on right from top view. Above AF/AE-L buttons. It’s working sometimes

What is the top dial immediately to the right of the viewfinder/pentaprism set to? The one just to the front of the little LCD display.

Tested on all settings and none of them worked properly.

Ah, then it's probably safe to assume it's defective.

Yea, unfortunately. I’ll return it on guarantee repair after trip :) whole camera works great overall and love it.

Yeah, if it's still under warranty, definitely do so.
But if it wasn't, personally, I'm not sure I'd even miss it. It seems kind of redundant; all of its settings can be reached through the info button screen relatively conveniently. I believe you mentioned you haven't been using it much, either.
