12. TROUBLESHOOTING

If the integrated control LED of the unit is flashing, this means the unit sensors detected a problem. See the list below to know where on 
the unit the problem occurs.

LED flashes GREEN (double blink). 

• Thermistor error. 

Replace the thermistor kit.

LED flashes AMBER. 

• Damper error. 

Go to point 10.

A few diagnosis procedures may require the unit to be in operation while proceeding. Open the unit door and 
bypass its magnetic switch by putting the door white magnet on it. Be careful with moving and/or live parts.

TRY

 

THIS

1. The error code E1 is 

displayed on Platinum or 
Deco-Touch wall control 
screen.

• The wires may be in reverse position.

• The wires may be broken.
•  The wires may have a bad connection.

• Ensure that the color coded wires have been connected to their appropriate 

places.

• Inspect every wire and replace any that are damaged.
• Ensure the wires are correctly connected.

2. 

There is no outside 
temperature displayed 
on Platinum wall control 
screen                    .

• Unit is on error and integrated control 

LED flashes (GREEN or AMBER).

• 

The unit thermistor is defective 
(integrated control LED flashes 
GREEN).

NOTE:  At its very start-up or after a power failure, it takes some minutes before 

the outside temperature appears on screen. The delay duration depends 
on which operation mode the wall control is set. The shortest delay is 
obtained when the wall control is set on MIN or MAX in VENT Mode.

• Check if unit is operating.

• Replace the unit thermistor.

3. Platinum or Deco-Touch 

wall control screen 
alternates between 
normal display and E3 or 
E4 appears on screen.

• The Platinum or Deco-Touch wall 

control needs to be reset.

• The Platinum or Deco-Touch wall 

control is defective.

4.  On Platinum wall control, 

there is an important 
difference between 
temperature displayed 
and real temperature.

• Exterior air intake port is blocked.
• 

The unit thermistor is defective
(integrated control LED flashes 
GREEN).

• The unit damper has been blocked 

or broken (integrated control LED 
flashes AMBER and unit is OFF).

• Motor won’t turn.

• Clean the exterior air intake port.
• Replace the unit thermistor.

• Check for the proper operation of the unit damper; replace if necessary.

• Confirm that the motor is running, if not refer to point 9.

5. 

Unit does not work 
(no LED is lit on the 
integrated control).

• The transformer may be defective.
• The circuit board may be defective.

• The unit is unplugged.
• The unit door is opened.
• A fuse is blown.
• Wrong control connections.

• Check for 24 VAC on J8-1 and J8-2.

• Plug the unit.
• Close unit door.
• Inspect fuse on circuit board (refer to wiring diagram F1 on page 14).
• Try the integrated control (see Section 5.1 on page 11).

6. 

The damper actuator 
does not work or rotates 
continuously.

•  The damper actuator or the integrated 

damper port mechanism may be 
defective (integrated control LED 
flashes AMBER and unit is OFF).

• The circuit board or the transformer 

may be defective.(integrated control 
LED flashes AMBER and unit is OFF)

• Unplug the unit. Disconnect the main control and the optional controls(s) (if 

need be). Wait 10 seconds and plug the unit back. Check if the damper opens. 
If not, use a mulltimeter and check for 24 VAC on J12-1 and J12-2 (in electrical 
compartment). If there is 24 VAC, replace the entire port assembly. 

  NOTE:  It is normal to experience a small delay (7-8 seconds) before detecting 

the 24 VAC signal at starting-up. This signal will stay during 17-18 
seconds before disappearing.

•  If there is no 24 VAC, check for 24 VAC between J8-1 and J8-2. If there is 24 VAC 

replace the circuit board, and if there is no 24 VAC, change the transformer.

• Unplug the unit. Disconnect the main control 

and the optional(s) control(s) (if need be). 
Jump G and B terminals. Plug the unit back 
and wait about 10 seconds. If the motor runs 
on high speed and the damper opens, the 
circuit board is not defective.

•  Reset the Platinum or Deco-Touch 

wall control by pressing 
simultaneously on both keys for 
8 second (as shown at right). 
Then, 

unplug the unit for 

30 seconds. Plug the unit back.

• If the problem is not solved, replace the Platinum or Deco-Touch wall control.
