How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before opening the controller housing.

  • Inspect keypad surface: Look for cracks, delamination, or signs of water intrusion around the keypad.
  • Check ribbon cable: Open the controller and verify the keypad ribbon cable is fully seated on the PCB. Reseat if loose.
  • Dry moisture: If condensation or water is present, dry the area thoroughly and improve enclosure sealing.
  • Test external control: If available, try starting the pump via external automation or digital input to confirm the drive itself is functional.
  • Replace keypad or controller: If E14 persists and keys do not respond, replace the keypad assembly or the entire Franklin Electric controller per manufacturer guidance.
