What Does Navien Error Code E593 Mean?

The E593 error code on your Navien tankless water heater or combi-boiler indicates an abnormal panel key input. Basically, the unit's control board is receiving unexpected or incorrect signals from the buttons on the front panel. This could be due to a stuck button, a short in the wiring, or a problem with the control board itself. When this happens, the unit shuts down as a safety measure to prevent unintended operation or damage. You'll likely notice a lack of hot water or heating, depending on your Navien model. This error is important because it prevents the unit from operating correctly and could potentially lead to further issues if left unaddressed. While some causes are minor, others can point to a more significant electrical problem within the unit. It's best to troubleshoot this issue to get your Navien back up and running reliably.

Common Causes of Navien Code E593
