Possible Causes

Loose interface cable, Oxidized connectors, Faulty display board, Faulty main control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before opening the control housing.

  • Inspect cables: Locate the cable between the display/keypad module and the main PCB. Unplug and replug both ends to clean contacts.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for green or white corrosion on connectors. Clean gently with contact cleaner and a soft brush.
  • Test with minimal configuration: If possible, disconnect non-essential accessories (salt sensor, external modules) to see if E18 clears, indicating a bus conflict.
  • Module substitution: If available, test with a known-good display module or main PCB to isolate the faulty component.
  • Replace defective board: Replace the display module or main control PCB as indicated by testing.
