How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before accessing the control compartment. Static discharge can damage electronics; ground yourself before handling boards.

Step 1 – Hard reset

  • Turn the unit OFF at the control panel.
  • Unplug or switch off the breaker for at least 10 minutes.
  • Restore power and observe if EC07 reappears.

Step 2 – Check for external causes

  • Verify the outlet voltage is stable and within specification (typically 120 VAC in North America).
  • Avoid sharing the circuit with heavy loads (dishwasher, microwave) that can cause voltage dips.

Step 3 – Inspect control board area

  • Remove the access panel to the control board (often at the top or rear of the unit).
  • Look for burn marks, swollen capacitors, or a burnt odor on the board.
  • Check all harness connectors for secure fit and signs of overheating.

Step 4 – Board replacement

  • If EC07 persists and visual inspection suggests board damage, replacement of the main control board is typically required.
  • Label all connectors before removal, then transfer them one by one to the new board to avoid miswiring.

Note: Some models may require configuration or programming after board replacement; consult Sub‑Zero service documentation or use a professional.
