Heater shows E06 and will not heat; may occur after a power surge or storm.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This involves mains wiring. Only a qualified electrician should perform live voltage checks or re-termination.
- Verify supply configuration: Check the rating plate on the Elecro heater for required voltage and phase (e.g., 230V 1~ or 400V 3~). Confirm the supply from the distribution board matches.
- Inspect terminal block: With power isolated, remove the cover and inspect the main terminal block. Tighten all phase and earth connections and look for heat damage.
- Measure voltage: Have an electrician measure line-to-line and line-to-neutral voltages at the heater while under load. Compare to Elecro’s acceptable range.
- Check for missing phase: On three-phase models, ensure all three phases are present and fuses or breakers are intact.
Correct any wiring errors or supply issues. If E06 remains with correct voltage, the control PCB’s voltage sensing circuit may be faulty.
