How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn OFF utility and generator breakers. Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing the control panel cover.
- 1. Check battery voltage: Verify the battery has at least 12.4 V. Recharge or replace if low.
- 2. Inspect DC fuse: Locate the control circuit fuse near the GE controller. Replace if blown with the same rating.
- 3. Check display connections: Remove the controller cover and ensure the ribbon cable between the main board and display is fully seated.
- 4. Look for moisture damage: Inspect the display and board for signs of water intrusion or corrosion. Dry and clean if minor; replace modules if severely damaged.
- 5. If still blank: The display or entire controller may need replacement with a GE-approved control panel.
