How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the control board.
- Step 1 – Power cycle: Disconnect power for at least 15 minutes. Reconnect and attempt to select and run a different program.
- Step 2 – Check supply quality: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage and that no extension cords or adapters are causing intermittent power.
- Step 3 – Inspect main control board: Remove the top cover and locate the main board. Check for burnt components, swollen capacitors, or loose connectors. Reseat all plugs.
- Step 4 – Firmware / board replacement: If E15 persists, the control board memory is likely corrupted. In most home environments, the solution is to replace the main control board with a new Vedette-compatible unit. Some service centers can reprogram the board, but this requires specialized tools.
- Step 5 – Surge protection: After replacement, consider using a surge protector to reduce the risk of future damage.
