Stannah 260 LED fault indicators explained

Your Stannah 260 has 10 LEDs on the control board (ECU). Each LED tells you something about the state of your stairlift. Here's what each colour and number means.

⚠️ Important safety note

This information is provided for reference only. Red LEDs usually indicate a fault that needs a qualified engineer. If your stairlift is showing a red LED, call us on 0800 567 7033 — many faults can be diagnosed over the phone.

🔴 Red LEDs — fault indicators

LED 1

Motor or control board fault. The system has detected a problem with the motor circuit or the control board itself.

What to do: Call us — needs diagnosis by an engineer.

LED 2

Low battery voltage. The batteries aren't holding enough charge while the stairlift is running.

What to do: Charge overnight. If LED 2 persists, batteries may need replacing — call us.

LED 3

Overload or obstruction. The stairlift is drawing too much power — often caused by a blockage, worn rollers, or the carriage struggling.

What to do: Check the rail is clear. If it continues, call us.

LED 4

Brake fault. The safety brake has developed a fault or lost connection.

What to do: Call us immediately. Do not use the stairlift.

LED 5

Safety interlock (RMU) has tripped. A safety mechanism has activated.

What to do: Call us — needs an engineer to reset safely.

🟠 Yellow LEDs — status indicators (usually normal)

LED 6

Half-speed mode. Your stairlift is travelling on an inside bend rail section and has slowed to half speed.

What to do: No action — this is normal.

LED 7

Slowing switch active. The stairlift is preparing to stop at a charge point or park position.

What to do: No action — this is normal.

LED 8

Call exists. A call has been received at the control board — from the armrest or remote.

What to do: No action — this is normal.

🟢 Green LEDs — system OK

LED 9

System running. This green LED pulses once per second to indicate the software is running correctly.

What to do: No action — this is normal. If it stops pulsing, call us.

LED 10

Power OK. This green LED confirms the 5V control supply is active.

What to do: No action — this is normal. If off, check the mains supply and battery isolator.

Multiple LEDs on, or a red LED you're not sure about? Call 0800 567 7033 — we can diagnose most faults over the phone.

  • ✅ Grinding, squeaking or unusual noise

  • ✅ Remote control not working

🔈 Grinding noise = worn rollers

If your Stannah 260 makes a grinding noise on the straight run or around a bend, this usually indicates worn rollers. Another sign is the stairlift suddenly running much slower. This should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the rail and carriage.
