Possible Causes

Control PCB hardware fault,Memory or processor error,Corrupted configuration data,Failed low-voltage power supply on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

User-level:

  • Disconnect power for 10–15 minutes and reconnect to see if the error clears.
  • If E15 reappears immediately, internal electronics are likely damaged.

Technician-level:

  • Measure low-voltage outputs from the control PCB's power supply section (e.g., 5 V, 12 V) and verify stability.
  • Inspect for burned components, bulging capacitors, or cracked solder joints.
  • If the board fails self-test consistently, replace the main control PCB.

Due to the complexity of microcontroller-based boards, component-level repair is usually not recommended outside authorized service centers.
