How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power and allow the system to cool before touching the pump.

User checks:

  • Bleed radiators and ensure system pressure is correct.

Engineer checks:

  • Check for voltage at the pump terminals when there is a heating demand.
  • Remove the pump head and inspect the rotor; free if seized.
  • Clean any system filter or strainer and check for sludge.
  • Replace the pump if it fails to run or circulate adequately.

Restoring circulation will usually clear E193 faults.
