Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power to the HVAC system before changing wiring or adding/removing modules.
- Review installer setup: Enter the installer menu and verify that the correct system type, number of stages, and accessories (humidifier, dehumidifier, ventilation) are selected according to the installed American Standard equipment.
- Check communicating vs. non-communicating: Ensure you are using a communicating thermostat with communicating equipment, or a conventional thermostat with non-communicating equipment. Mixing types can cause E10.
- Verify modules: If using an American Standard zoning panel, humidifier module, or ventilation module, confirm they are properly wired and powered.
- Update firmware: Use the American Standard app or service tools to update thermostat firmware if an update is available.
When to call a pro: Equipment mismatch and configuration issues are best resolved by an American Standard dealer who can verify model compatibility.
