Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This error can indicate a shock hazard. Turn off the main breaker and do not touch the pump if it is in standing water.
- Dry the area: Ensure the pump pad and surrounding area are dry. If the pump has been submerged, do not attempt to restart it; the motor should be inspected and likely replaced.
- Inspect terminal box: With power off, open the motor terminal cover. Look for water, condensation, or corrosion. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth and low-heat air (not open flame). Replace any corroded terminals.
- Check control panel: Open the Kripsol control box and inspect for water tracks, rust, or dampness. Dry the interior and correct any leaks in conduit or panel seals.
- Cable inspection: Examine the cable from the control panel to the pump for cuts or crushed sections. Replace if damaged.
If E06 returns after drying and inspection, the motor insulation or drive electronics may be compromised. Have a technician perform insulation resistance tests and replace the motor or drive as needed.
