Possible Causes

Faulty control board, loose harness between display and main board, electrical noise or grounding issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker or service switch before opening the control panel.

Steps:

  • Inspect control wiring: Remove the front cover and check the ribbon cable or harness between the user interface/display and the main Peerless control board. Reseat connectors.
  • Check grounding: Verify the boiler is properly grounded and that neutral and ground are not reversed at the service connection.
  • Look for moisture: Check for signs of water intrusion or condensation on the control board. Correct any leaks from piping or relief valves.
  • Power cycle: Restore power and see if the code clears after a full reboot.
  • If E9 remains: The control board or display module may need replacement. This should be done by a qualified technician to ensure correct programming and safety checks.
