Weil-McLain Error E04: Voltage Lost After Lockout / AC Voltage Fluctuation
The control lost incoming AC voltage while a prior lockout was active, or detected AC voltage fluctuations (brownouts) on the incoming power. The manufacturer's recommended remedy is a time-delay relay (part 383-500-021) to stabilize power. This is a power-quality fault, not a high-limit/overtemperature condition. We diagnose and repair it across Greater Vancouver — same-day and after-hours.
