Possible Causes

Faulty motor speed sensor, Damaged feedback cable between motor and drive, Loose connector on Pahlén drive, Internal drive fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the drive or motor terminal box.

  • Inspect feedback cable: Locate the low-voltage cable from the motor to the Pahlén drive. Check for cuts, abrasions, or crushed sections. Ensure connectors are fully seated.
  • Secure wiring: Route the feedback cable away from high-voltage cables to reduce electrical noise.
  • Test in manual mode: If possible, run the pump at a fixed speed and observe whether E15 appears. Intermittent faults often indicate a loose connection.
  • Replace sensor/cable: If visual inspection shows damage, replace the speed sensor or cable with original Pahlén parts.
