How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the appliance from the mains before opening the control panel.

  • Inspect display connections: Remove the front control panel and check the ribbon cable or harness between the display board and main PCB. Reseat connectors.
  • Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or water ingress around the display. Dry thoroughly and address any door seal or panel leaks.
  • Visual PCB inspection: Examine both the user interface PCB and main PCB for burnt components or corrosion. Replace the affected board if damage is found.
  • Test operation: Reassemble and restore power. If E18 persists, a matched set of control and display boards may be required from Classeq.
