Possible Causes

Loose communication cable, Damaged control panel PCB, Faulty main control board, Incorrect wiring after service

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the boiler from mains power before removing the front panel or control panel.

Steps to check:

  • Inspect communication cable: Locate the low-voltage cable connecting the main control board to the user interface or room controller. Check for damage, pinched sections, or loose plugs.
  • Reseat connectors: Unplug and firmly reinsert the connectors at both ends to ensure good contact.
  • Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or water ingress on the control panel and main board. Dry thoroughly and address any leaks.
  • Test with basic panel: If available, connect a basic Kospel control panel directly to the boiler to rule out external controller issues.
  • Power cycle: Restore power and see if E12 clears. If not, one of the PCBs may be defective.

When to call a technician: PCB diagnosis and replacement should be performed by an authorized Kospel service technician.
