Possible Causes

Open circuit in room thermostat wiring, Incorrect thermostat settings, Faulty external controller, Misconfigured control parameters on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working on low-voltage control wiring.

  • Check thermostat wiring: Inspect the two-core cable from the room thermostat or Kospel controller to the furnace terminals. Tighten loose screws and repair damaged cable.
  • Bypass test (if allowed): Temporarily bridge the thermostat terminals at the furnace to simulate a heat demand. If the furnace starts, the thermostat or its wiring is faulty.
  • Verify settings: Ensure the thermostat is set to heating mode and the setpoint is above room temperature.

If E17 remains even with a bypass, the control board input may be defective and require replacement.
