How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before any disassembly.
Steps:
- Factory reset (if supported): Consult the user manual for a factory reset procedure (often involves holding specific buttons for several seconds). Perform the reset and test.
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 15 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge and the microcontroller to fully reset.
- Check for power issues: Avoid using long extension cords or undersized power strips. Plug directly into a properly grounded outlet.
- Inspect control board: If accessible, visually inspect the main PCB for burnt components or obvious damage.
- Board replacement: If E7 persists after resets and there are no wiring issues, the main control board's memory or logic is likely damaged. Replace the main PCB with the correct Honeywell part number for your model.
