Possible Causes
Loose ribbon cable between UI and main PCB, Failed display/keypad module, Moisture ingress into control panel, PCB communication fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate power before removing the front panel or display assembly.
Steps to address E11:
- 1. Check for moisture: Inspect the front panel for signs of condensation or water ingress. If present, identify and fix the source (e.g. leaking pipe above the unit).
- 2. Reseat ribbon cable: Remove the front panel carefully and locate the ribbon cable or harness connecting the display/keypad to the main PCB. Disconnect and reconnect it to ensure a solid connection.
- 3. Inspect connectors: Look for bent pins, corrosion, or damage on the connectors. Clean gently if necessary.
- 4. Test operation: Reassemble, restore power, and check if the error clears and buttons respond.
- 5. Replace UI module: If the display remains unresponsive, the user interface module may need replacement with the correct Heatrae Sadia part. If that does not resolve the issue, the main PCB is likely at fault and should be replaced by a professional.
