Hi. I have recently installed a BHI T17 12K 115v. Whenever I turn on the heat mode I get a P9 and E0 error messages. I can't find any information on troubleshooting this problem and was hoping you might be able to help me fix this issue. Thanks.

Based on the context, the error codes for the BHI T17 12K 115v heater are:
- P9: Indoor pipe temperature sensor fault. - E0: Indoor room temperature sensor fault.
Resolution Steps: 1. Check the corresponding temperature sensor (indoor pipe or room) for loose or damaged wiring. 2. Replace the faulty sensor if necessary. 3. If the problem persists, the unit may require service for internal electronic faults.
