Stannah 260 LED fault indicators explained
Your Stannah 260 has 10 LEDs on the control board (the ECU). Each one tells you something about the state of your stairlift. Below is what each colour and number means.
This is a reference guide only. Red LEDs usually point to a fault that needs a qualified engineer. If your stairlift is showing a red LED, call us on 0800 567 7033 and we'll talk you through it. We can often diagnose the issue over the phone.
🔴 Red LEDs — fault indicators
Motor or control board fault. The system has picked up a problem with the motor circuit or the control board itself.
What to do: Call us. This needs an engineer.
Low battery voltage. The batteries aren't holding enough charge while the stairlift is running.
What to do: Charge overnight. If LED 2 is still on, the batteries may need replacing.
Overload or obstruction. The stairlift is drawing too much power. Usually it's a blockage, worn rollers, or the carriage struggling.
What to do: Check the rail is clear. If LED 3 stays on, call us.
Brake fault. The safety brake has developed a fault, or it's lost connection.
What to do: Call us straight away. Don't use the stairlift.
Safety interlock (RMU) has tripped. A safety mechanism has kicked in.
What to do: Call us. An engineer needs to reset it safely.
🟠 Yellow LEDs — status indicators (usually normal)
Half-speed mode. Your stairlift is on an inside bend and has slowed to half speed.
What to do: Nothing. This is normal.
Slowing switch active. The stairlift is preparing to stop at a charge point or parking position.
What to do: Nothing. This is normal.
Call exists. The control board has received a call from the armrest or the remote.
What to do: Nothing. This is normal.
🟢 Green LEDs — system OK
System running. This green LED pulses once per second to show the software is running properly.
What to do: Nothing. This is normal. If it stops pulsing, call us.
Power OK. This green LED confirms the 5V control supply is active.
What to do: Nothing. This is normal. If it's off, check the mains supply and the battery isolator.

The kind of jobs our engineers get called out to every week.

🔈 Grinding noise means worn rollers
If your Stannah 260 makes a grinding noise on the straight run or around a bend, that usually means the rollers are worn. Another sign is the stairlift suddenly running much slower than usual. Worth getting it looked at sooner rather than later, before the rail and carriage suffer further damage.
