Possible Causes
Internal Dettson control board failure, Loose low-voltage wiring, Shorted external control circuit, Power supply instability
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before accessing the control compartment.
- Power cycle: Turn off the boiler at the service switch or breaker for 2–3 minutes, then restore power. Observe if E11 clears.
- Check low-voltage wiring: Inspect thermostat, zone control, and communication wiring connected to the Dettson boiler control. Look for shorts, crushed cables, or loose terminals.
- Isolate external controls: Temporarily disconnect external control circuits (following the manual) and see if the boiler boots without E11. If it does, the issue may be in external wiring or devices.
- Board inspection: Look for burn marks, swollen capacitors, or water damage on the control board. Do not attempt board-level repair.
- Professional replacement: If E11 persists, the Dettson boiler control board likely needs replacement and reconfiguration by a qualified technician.
