Sterling Stairlift Diagnostic Display Codes for Trouble Shooting in Philadelphia, Doylestown, Plymouth Meeting, West Chester, King of Prussia, PA and Surrounding Areas

Sterling Stairlift Codes

Sterling Stairlifts will display diagnostic codes in the event of anything starting to go amiss. These fault codes are designed to notify the owner or repair technician of the exact causes of problems. The fault codes are numbered or given letters to help identify issues.

Diagnostic codes are especially helpful when stairlift owners are communicating the issue to a technician over the phone. The diagnostic code can help the technician quickly identify the issue and start the process of fixing the problems. Occasionally a diagnostic code will signify something that can be repaired over the phone by the stairlift owner. Diagnostic codes are a great way to fix issues quickly, save money by avoiding repairs, and get your stairlift back to proper working order as soon as possible.

However, when you look at the diagnostic code, it may read something you can’t quite understand. If you are ever unsure about a code, we suggest calling us for a Sterling Stairlift service appointment. We work throughout Philadelphia, Doylestown, Plymouth Meeting, West Chester, King of Prussia, and surrounding areas.

If your Sterling Stairlift diagnostic code does not resolve itself or is different from below, call or contact Stairlift Medics immediately for service.
