How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before touching the control board.

Steps:

  • Power cycle: Turn off the main power for 5 minutes, then restore. If E17 reappears immediately, the fault is likely permanent.
  • Check for visible damage: Inspect the control board for burn marks, swollen components, or moisture.
  • Verify ventilation: Ensure the control compartment is not blocked and that the furnace is not installed in an excessively hot space.
