Possible Causes

Burnt heater element, tripped internal thermal cut‑out, faulty heater contactor, wiring fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power and verify with a tester before opening the heater compartment. Risk of severe electric shock.

  • Check fuses/breakers: Verify that the circuit breakers feeding the electric heater are on and not tripped.
  • Inspect wiring and contactor: Look for burnt wires or contacts on the heater contactor. Do not touch live parts.
  • Reset internal cut‑out: Some Nibe heater modules have manual reset buttons on the thermal cut‑outs. With power off, press to reset.

If E1 persists, the heater element or contactor likely needs replacement by a qualified electrician or Nibe technician.
