Diagnostic steps

1. Confirm the EE code

   Verify EE on the indoor unit display before ordering parts.

2. Confirm power and basics

   Rule out a power problem so the board fault is not masking a simpler supply issue.

3. Plan the board replacement

   The manual's repair method is to replace the indoor main board, so source the correct replacement part.

4. Replace and verify

   After installing the new indoor main board, power up and confirm the EE code clears.

When to call a professional

Replacing the indoor main control board involves opening the indoor unit, disconnecting line-voltage and low-voltage harnesses, and transferring settings correctly. This is best done by a licensed HVAC technician who can confirm the board is truly the failure and install the correct part. Incorrect board replacement or wiring can damage the new board, so leave EE repairs to a qualified professional.
