Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the dryer from mains before accessing electronics.

  • Power reset: Unplug the dryer for at least 15 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then reconnect and try again.
  • Check supply quality: Ensure the dryer is connected to a stable mains outlet, not an overloaded extension lead.
  • Factory reset (if available): Consult the Montpellier user manual for any key combination to reset the control. Perform the reset if documented.
  • Professional reprogramming: If E14 persists, the main PCB may require firmware re-flashing or replacement by an authorised Montpellier service centre.
