What does Doyon error code ACCESSORY 1 FAILURE mean?
On the ECM-1, the first accessory input is used for the control compartment overheat alarm. While the input signal is present, all is well. When the signal is no longer received, the control displays ACCESSORY 1 FAILURE, lights the OVERHEAT WARNING light, sounds the buzzer and switches to Off mode. The manual lists two causes: the control compartment is overheating, and the cooling fan airflow is obstructed or the fan is not running. Its first action is to check that the cooling fan airflow is not obstructed and that the fan is running, and the diagnostics also say to check the filter. If the malfunction light stays on or the buzzer keeps sounding, the manual says to turn off or disconnect the appliance from power and have it serviced by an electrician.
