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.
