Possible Causes

Blown light relay on control board, Incorrect lamp type (over‑wattage or LED incompatibility), Shorted lamp holder, Damaged light PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off mains power before changing lamps or opening the housing.

  • Check lamp type: Ensure the installed bulb matches Garador specifications (wattage and type). Replace any non‑approved LED or high‑wattage lamps with the recommended type.
  • Inspect lamp holder: Look for heat damage, melted plastic, or loose contacts. Replace the lamp holder if damaged.
  • Test without lamp: Remove the bulb and restore power. If E12 clears, the bulb was likely faulty or incompatible.
  • Board inspection: If the error persists, the light relay or driver circuit on the control board may be damaged. Replace the control board or light PCB as per Garador parts list.
