How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and verify isolation before touching the electronics.

  • Inspect the control board compartment for signs of water ingress or condensation. Dry the area thoroughly and correct any leaks from the tank flange or piping.
  • Check for visible burn marks, swollen capacitors, or cracked components on the Atlantic control board.
  • Ensure all connectors are firmly seated and that the ground connection is secure.
  • If E6 persists after power cycling and there is no obvious wiring issue, the control board is considered defective.
