Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before touching the control board or wiring.
Steps to check:
- Inspect board visually: Look for burnt components, swollen capacitors, or corrosion on the Heil control board. Check that all plug-in connectors are fully seated.
- Check for moisture: Ensure there are no water leaks from humidifiers or condensate lines dripping onto the board. Correct any leaks and dry the area.
- Power cycle: Turn off power for 5 minutes, then restore. Sometimes transient faults clear after a full reset.
When to call a pro: If the 11-flash code returns after reset and wiring/moisture issues are ruled out, the control board will likely need replacement and proper setup by a technician.
