Topic: AC Thermostat flashing code E-4 Posted: 05 Sep 2017 at 12:29pm |
Just a glitch. We have had it reported a few times over the years. Our pod had the analog thermostat, as does the Airstream, in fact it has one for a/c and one for heat... and the new Lance has a digital one, but different brand.. So, truthfully, all I learned was how to fix it, not what caused it.. LOL

I turned off the breaker and disconnected the battery at the same time, and it worked. thanks. But I still don't know what caused it and how to avoid it...

if you are plugged into shore power, the converter/charger is where your 12v is coming from. The battery(ies) only provide 12v when the shore power is not available. On every Pod I have worked on, the converter charger was on the 2nd or 3rd breaker.. BUT the easiest way to handle it is just shut off the top (30A) breaker. That will cut power to the whole pod.

How do you turn the converter off? I thought disconnecting the battery turned everything off.

Hard reset is done by shutting it down and disconnecting the 12v feed, usually by pulling a battery cable, or with a cut off switch. E4 will often clear just by turning the system completely off and back on.
Error codes are in the installation manual.

How do you do a hard reset? And where can we find a list of the error codes?
