Possible Causes

Wrong sensor type selected in settings (e.g., 10k vs 15k NTC), Both room and floor sensors enabled but one missing, Unsupported external sensor connected, Firmware configuration corruption

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Configuration changes are low risk, but disconnect power before altering any sensor wiring.

Steps to diagnose and fix:

  • 1. Review sensor settings: In the thermostat menu, check the selected sensor type and control mode (room only, floor only, or room with floor limit). Ensure this matches your installation.
  • 2. Match sensor type: Confirm the installed Danfoss sensor type (e.g., 10k NTC). Adjust the thermostat setting to match the actual sensor.
  • 3. Disable unused sensors: If no floor sensor is installed, disable floor sensor monitoring in the configuration to prevent E17.
  • 4. Check wiring: Ensure that any connected external or floor sensors are wired to the correct terminals and not shorted or open.
  • 5. Factory reset if needed: If settings appear corrupted, perform a factory reset and reconfigure the thermostat according to the Danfoss installation guide.

When to call a professional: If you are unsure which sensors are installed or how the system was designed, consult the original installer.
