Possible Causes

Disconnected remote controller cable, Damaged communication harness, Incorrect polarity on remote wiring, Faulty remote controller PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Electrical safety: Turn OFF power before working on wiring. Do not short communication terminals.

  • 1. Check remote cable connections:
    • Ensure the remote controller cable is firmly plugged into the heater's terminal block.
    • Verify the connector at the remote controller is secure.
  • 2. Inspect cable for damage:
    • Look for cuts, pinches, or crushed sections along the cable route.
    • Replace the cable if any damage is found.
  • 3. Verify polarity:
    • Some Panasonic models require correct polarity on the remote terminals (e.g., + and –). Check the installation manual and correct any reversed connections.
  • 4. Test with a short cable:
    • If possible, connect the remote directly at the heater with a short known‑good cable to rule out wiring issues in the wall.
  • 5. Replace remote controller: If wiring is good but H11 persists, the remote controller PCB may be faulty and should be replaced with a genuine Panasonic unit.
