How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when working around live voltage. Unplug the unit before opening any panels.

  • Check outlet: Plug a known-good appliance or tester into the outlet. Use a voltmeter to verify 110–120 VAC. If voltage is low or unstable, contact an electrician.
  • Inspect power cord: Check for cuts, burns, or loose prongs. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Verify cord connection: Ensure the cord is firmly connected to the internal terminal block (if accessible) and that screws are tight.
  • Control board power section: If supply voltage is good but E17 persists, the control board's power supply may be failing. Replace the main control board.
