Why does my Protemp Heater shut off after igniting and shows E1?
- T
  Terri AndrewsSep 1, 2025
  If your Protemp Heater ignites but the main PCB shuts off shortly after, displaying 'E1' and the lamp flickers, it could be due to several reasons: * Incorrect pump pressure, which requires adjustment. * A dirty input, output, or lint filter, which should be cleaned or replaced. * A dirty fuel filter, which should be cleaned or replaced. * A dirty nozzle, which should be cleaned or replaced. * A dirty photocell lens, which should be cleaned or replaced. * Improper installation or a defect in the photocell, requiring adjustment, or replacement. * Improper electrical connection between the main PCB and photocell; check wiring connections.
