How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power at the breaker before removing the thermostat if needed.

Steps to troubleshoot:

  • 1. Power cycle:
    • Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
    • Observe if the E9 error clears or reappears.
  • 2. Attempt firmware recovery (if supported):
    • For Z-Wave models like Heatit Z-TRM3, connect to your Z-Wave gateway.
    • Check if the device is reachable and if a firmware re-flash option is available.
    • Follow the gateway's instructions to re-upload the official Heatit firmware.
  • 3. Factory reset:
    • If the menu is accessible, perform a factory reset to clear configuration memory.
  • 4. Replace thermostat:
    • If E9 persists and the device cannot be recovered via firmware, the internal memory or MCU is damaged.
    • Replace the thermostat with a new Heatit unit.
