AB Repair PIC fault code list. These only apply to our PICs.
Mk4.0 Round
This is our original code and does not have any extra fault codes added.
Mk4.2 Square v1
LED Status | Buzzer Status | Fault | Reason for fault code |
on (no flashing) | Silent | Check IC soldering or R1 or D2 is faulty. | The IC can not detect the line frequency |
Yellow (no flashing) | Beeping | 240v mode with thermistor disconnected, faulty thermistor or to cold. | This is also for testing the voltage detection is working. |
Red (no flashing) | Beeping | 110v mode with thermistor disconnected, faulty thermistor or to cold. | This is also for testing the voltage detection is working. |
Flashing red and yellow | Silent | IC is on the wrong version of PCB (it is for a round buzzer pcb) | |
LED wrong colour while running |
Some versions of the switch side PCB have the LED fitted in the opposite direction. Switch the 2 LED wires around on the switch side PCB |

Too hot or too cold. | Check R3 |
MK5 Round and Square v1
LED Status | Buzzer Status | Fault |
on (no flashing) | Silent | Check IC soldering, R1 or D2 is faulty |
on (no flashing) | Beeping | 240v mode with thermistor disconnected, faulty thermistor or to cold. This is for testing the voltage detection is working. |
off | Beeping | 110v mode with thermistor disconnected, faulty thermistor or to cold. This is for testing the voltage detection is working. |
Flashing | Silent | IC on wrong version of PCB |
Too hot or too cold. Check R3 |
Universal IC V1
LED Status for mk4.2 square and all mk5 | LED Status for mk 4 round | Buzzer Status | Fault |
on (no flashing) | same | Silent | Check IC soldering, R1 or D2 is faulty. |
on (no flashing) | Red (no flashing) | Beeping | 240v mode with thermistor disconnected, faulty thermistor or to cold. This is for testing the voltage detection is working. |
Off | Yellow (no flashing) | Beeping | 110v mode with thermistor disconnected, faulty thermistor or to cold. This is for testing the voltage detection is working. |
Slow flash | same | Slow beep | IC has gone to sleep because it has detected a heater fault at startup. |
