How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before opening the housing.

  • Power reset: Unplug the machine for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then plug it back in and test.
  • Dry the panel: If the panel has been exposed to steam or cleaning fluids, leave the machine unplugged in a dry, warm room for several hours to allow moisture to evaporate. Do not use a hair dryer on high heat.
  • Check connections (advanced): Remove the top cover and inspect the flat ribbon cable between the display/touch panel and the main PCB. Reseat the connectors carefully.

If E11 remains, the user interface board or main PCB may need replacement. This is an advanced repair; consult a Philips service center.
