How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Danger: This involves 120V or 240V line voltage. If you are not qualified, contact an electrician or boiler technician.
- Verify power source: Confirm the boiler is on a dedicated circuit with correct breaker size per Pennco installation manual.
- Check polarity: Using a multimeter or outlet tester, verify that hot, neutral, and ground are correctly wired at the service switch and boiler junction box.
- Inspect ground: Ensure the boiler chassis is properly grounded to the electrical system ground.
- Measure voltage: Confirm supply voltage is within the specified range (typically 108–132 VAC for 120V systems).
- If E15 persists: The control board may have been damaged by incorrect wiring and require replacement.
