Pump display shows E16 and unit will not start after a lightning storm or major surge

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

Recent lightning strike or grid surge, Damaged MOVs or surge components on DAB control board, Overvoltage from generator or unstable supply

Safety first: Have an electrician verify supply quality if overvoltage is suspected.

Steps to check:

Inspect control board: With power off, open the control housing and look for burnt surge components or charred areas.
Measure supply voltage: Confirm that the mains voltage is within the DAB pump's rated range.
Install surge protection: If not already present, have a surge protector installed upstream of the pump.
If E16 persists: The DAB control module has likely been damaged and must be replaced.
