Safety first: Clear the area beneath and above the desk; support loads securely. Unplug the AC plug before inspecting external motor leads. Never work under a moving frame or uncouple a loaded leg; collision detection may not operate during reset.
Model and version covered
For the original two-motor FlexiSpot E7. Confirm the exact handset button count, control-box label and local E7 manual; E7 Pro/Plus, overseas control boxes and revised handsets may use different messages or reset keys.
Version check: Handset and controller revisions can have different reset procedures and fault definitions.

01
E07/E08 appears after moving or cable strain
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Disconnect mains and fully seat M1/M2 leg-motor leads and hand-controller cable.
- Check damaged insulation caught under frame and restore slack to moving cables.
How to tell it is fixed: Error clears after documented reset and both legs move together.
02
Only one column moves
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Stop immediately to avoid twisting frame, inspect that column's mechanical obstruction and lift-screw binding.
- Refer worn motor/drive to FlexiSpot-specific replacement support.
How to tell it is fixed: Desk remains level through a short controlled travel test.
03
Error returns with all external plugs sound
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Controller port/leg electrical diagnosis is required.
- Do not swap arbitrary hardware revisions or bypass current sensing.
How to tell it is fixed: Correct component replacement restores coordinated movement.
