How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before touching any electronic components.
- Visual inspection: Remove the access cover to the main control board. Look for burned spots, swollen capacitors, or a burnt smell.
- Check wiring harnesses: Ensure all connectors are fully seated and that no wires are pinched or damaged.
- Power reset: Leave the unit unplugged for at least 10 minutes, then restore power to see if F2 clears.
