How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before handling the control board.
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then plug back in and see if E16 clears.
- Check connectors: Remove the control board cover and ensure all connectors are fully seated and not oxidized.
- Surge protection: If the error followed a storm or outage, consider using a surge protector once repairs are complete.
- Board replacement: If E16 persists, the main control PCB (with EEPROM) is likely defective and must be replaced with the correct Hisense part number.
