E01
Boiler will not ignite; display shows E01 shortly after a call for heat or domestic hot water.
Ignition Failure Lockout
E02
Boiler attempts to start but shuts down with E02; fan may run briefly, burner does not stay lit.
Flame Detection Failure
E03
Boiler locks out with E03; fan may not start or stops quickly; no ignition attempt.
Combustion Fan / Air Proving Fault
E04
Boiler shuts down with E04; display may indicate high limit or overheat; unit is hot to the touch.
High Limit Temperature Lockout
E05
Boiler displays E05 and will not fire; may occur immediately on power-up or during operation.
Supply Temperature Sensor Fault
E06
Boiler shows E06; may continue to run at reduced performance or shut down depending on model.
Return Temperature Sensor Fault
E07
Boiler locks out with E07; may indicate flue temperature too high or flue sensor fault.
Flue Temperature Sensor / Overheat Fault
E08
Boiler displays E08; unit may not start or may shut down intermittently.
Outdoor Temperature Sensor Fault
E09
Boiler shows E09 and will not fire; may be accompanied by low system pressure reading.
Low Water Pressure / System Pressure Switch Fault
E10
Boiler locks out with E10; may indicate high system pressure or pressure sensor error.
High Water Pressure / Pressure Sensor Range Fault
E11
Boiler shows E11; burner may shut down unexpectedly during operation.
Flame Loss During Operation
E12
Boiler displays E12; may indicate fan speed out of range or fan feedback error.
Combustion Fan Speed / Feedback Fault
E13
Boiler shows E13; may be associated with condensate issues or blocked drain.
Condensate Drain / Float Switch Fault
E14
Boiler locks out with E14; may indicate domestic hot water (DHW) sensor fault on combi models.
DHW Temperature Sensor Fault
E15
Boiler shows E15; may indicate flow switch or flow sensor issue, especially on combi units.
DHW Flow Detection Fault
E16
Boiler displays E16; may indicate internal communication error between control modules.
Internal Control Communication Fault
E17
Boiler shows E17; may be associated with sensor calibration or parameter error.
Configuration / Parameter Fault
E18
Boiler locks out with E18; may indicate gas valve or gas train fault.
Gas Valve Control Fault
E19
Boiler shows E19; may indicate pump or flow-related fault on the primary circuit.
Primary Pump / Flow Fault
E20
Boiler displays E20; may indicate low voltage or power supply issue.
AC Supply / Low Voltage Fault
Symptom
Boiler cycles on and off while maintaining a constant low-level noise even when there is no call for heat or hot water.
Standby Pump Overrun / Ghost Flow
Symptom
Boiler display backlight works but text is missing, garbled, or unreadable.
Display / User Interface Failure
Symptom
Boiler display is on but there is no response to thermostat calls; unit stays in standby.
No Call for Heat Recognition
Symptom
Boiler display shows normal operation but there is no hot water at taps on a combi model.
No Domestic Hot Water Production
Symptom
Boiler emits a strong exhaust or burning smell near the unit or vent termination.
Abnormal Combustion / Venting Issue
Symptom
Boiler frequently goes into lockout during very cold weather but runs normally at milder temperatures.
Cold Weather Operational Issues
Symptom
Boiler frequently needs manual resetting to restore operation, even though different error codes may appear intermittently.
Intermittent Lockouts / Unstable Operation
Symptom
Boiler frequently short cycles, turning on and off every few minutes during a call for heat.
Short Cycling
Symptom
Boiler ignites with a loud pop or boom at startup.
Delayed Ignition
Symptom
Boiler leaking water from the bottom of the cabinet or from piping connections near the unit.
General Water Leak
Symptom
Boiler makes loud banging or knocking noises when starting or during operation.
Kettling / Water Hammer in Heat Exchanger
Symptom
Boiler or nearby piping vibrates excessively during operation; humming or rattling noises are heard.
Mechanical Vibration / Resonance
Symptom
Boiler pressure rises significantly when heating and the relief valve occasionally discharges water.
Thermal Expansion / Overpressure
Symptom
Boiler runs but radiators or in-floor heating remain lukewarm or cold.
Insufficient Space Heating Output
Symptom
Boiler will not start at all; display is blank and no lights are on.
No Power / Dead Boiler
Symptom
Domestic hot water temperature fluctuates or is not hot enough on a combi boiler.
