Possible Causes

Insufficient system water, Air lock in boiler, Faulty flow sensor or temperature sensor misreading, Leak in system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not operate the boiler with suspected dry firing; this can damage the heat exchanger.

  • 1. Check and refill pressure: Verify system pressure and refill to the recommended level.
  • 2. Bleed boiler and radiators: Remove air from the system, starting with the boiler's built-in air vent and then radiators.
  • 3. Inspect for leaks: Look for visible leaks and check the safety valve discharge pipe for signs of water release.
  • 4. Sensor check: If pressure is correct but E9 persists, the flow or temperature sensors may be misreading and should be tested and replaced if necessary.
