How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing internal boards.

  • Reseat connectors: Identify all multi‑pin connectors between the main control board, display board, and keypad. Unplug and replug them to ensure good contact.
  • Inspect for damage: Look for bent pins, corrosion, or burnt components on any communication‑related boards.
  • Reduce interference: Ensure that high‑voltage cables (heater, pump) are routed away from low‑voltage signal cables where possible.
  • Board substitution: If available, test with a known‑good display or keypad board. If E15 persists, the main control board is likely defective.
