Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between UI and main board, Faulty control panel PCB, Moisture ingress into control panel, Main control board communication fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the door panel.

  • Inspect control panel: Remove the inner door screws to access the control panel and user interface board.
  • Check ribbon cable: Ensure the flat ribbon cable between the UI and main control board is fully inserted and not damaged.
  • Look for moisture: Check for signs of condensation or water ingress around the control panel. Dry gently with a cloth and allow time to air dry.
  • Reconnect and test: Reassemble the door, restore power, and test operation. If E14 persists, the UI board or main PCB may need replacement.
  • Component replacement: Replace the user interface board first, as it is more commonly at fault. If the error remains, the main control board likely requires professional replacement.
