Possible Causes
Loose display/control cable, Faulty user interface board, Moisture ingress in control housing, Main board failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any covers. Avoid touching live circuits.
- Inspect control cable: Remove the front cover and check the ribbon cable or harness between the display panel and main control board. Reseat both ends.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or water ingress inside the control housing. Dry gently with a cloth and allow the unit to air dry fully before re-energizing.
- Visual inspection: Examine the display board for burnt components or corrosion.
- Test operation: Restore power and see if E1 clears. If the display remains unresponsive, the user interface or main board may be defective.
- Replace modules: Replace the Viessmann user interface module first. If E1 persists, replace the main control board.
