E15
Ruud Temperature Calibration / Offset Fault

Thermostat displays E15 and indicates an internal temperature calibration error

Possible Causes

Corrupted calibration data in thermostat memory, Internal sensor drift beyond calibration range, Firmware bug affecting calibration routine, Physical damage to sensor area

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No high-voltage work is required.

  • Compare temperatures: Place an accurate digital thermometer near the thermostat and compare readings. Note the difference.
  • Adjust offset: In the thermostat settings, look for a temperature calibration or offset option. Adjust it to match the reference thermometer if the difference is small (1–3°F).
  • Factory reset: If E15 persists or the offset required is large, perform a factory reset to clear corrupted calibration data.
  • Re-test: After reset, recheck the temperature reading. If it is still significantly off or E15 remains, the internal sensor has drifted beyond usable range.
  • Replacement: Replace the thermostat if calibration cannot bring readings into a reasonable range.
