E15 on the Valley ICON 5 / ICON X
An independent guide from FixMyPivot, not from the manufacturer. Brand and panel names are here only so you can find your own equipment.
What it means
UNDERWATER ERROR.
The machine covered 5 degrees faster than the watering timer's error time allows, so it is moving too fast and putting on less water than planned. This error only comes up when the watering timer is turned on. The causes to look into are induced voltages and the percent timer connections, which are checks for a dealer or a qualified technician.
Reading the display and looking the machine over with every door and cover closed is fine. Anything past that means power shut off and locked out at the main disconnect first, and electrical checks belong to a dealer, an electrician, or someone qualified to be in the panel.

Safety
Center pivots run on high voltage and heavy moving machinery. Shut off and lock out power at the main disconnect before you open a panel or touch anything electrical. If you are not sure, stop and call your local pivot dealer or a licensed electrician. These pages tell you what a code means. They do not replace a qualified technician, and the safety instructions that came with your equipment come first.
