Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before removing the front panel. Handle PCBs by the edges to avoid static damage.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Power cycle: Turn off the boiler for 2 minutes, then restore power. Check if the display returns to normal.
- 2. Inspect connections: Remove the front cover and locate the ribbon cable or plug between the display and main PCB. Reseat both ends firmly.
- 3. Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or water ingress on the display board. Dry gently with a soft cloth and allow time to air dry before re-energising.
- 4. Visual inspection: Check for burnt components or cracked solder joints on the display PCB.
When to stop: If E13 persists and the display remains faulty, the display board likely needs replacement by a technician.
