Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the power at the breaker before removing the thermostat from the wall.
Steps to troubleshoot E13 (display fault):
- 1. Power cycle:
- Turn off the power for 2–3 minutes and restore.
- Check if the display returns to normal.
- 2. Inspect for physical damage:
- Remove the thermostat and examine the front for cracks or impact marks.
- If the glass or plastic is cracked, the display is likely physically damaged.
- 3. Check internal connections (if accessible without breaking warranty seals):
- Some models have a ribbon cable between the PCB and the display.
- If accessible, gently press the connectors to ensure they are seated.
- 4. Use the app for control:
- If only the display is faulty but the thermostat still responds via the Fibaro app, you can temporarily control heating from the app.
- 5. Replace the thermostat front module:
- In most cases, the display is integrated with the front housing and must be replaced as a unit.
When to call a professional: If the thermostat is under warranty, contact Fibaro support or your installer for a replacement rather than opening the device further.
