Possible Causes

Insufficient system pressure, Air in system, Faulty pressure switch, Leak in heating circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before topping up water. Avoid over‑pressurizing.

  • Check pressure gauge: If below the minimum mark, use the filling loop to raise pressure to the recommended cold value.
  • Bleed air: Bleed radiators and high points in the system, then re‑top pressure.
  • Inspect for leaks: Look for visible water around the Sime furnace and radiators. Persistent pressure loss indicates a leak that must be repaired.
  • If pressure is correct but E04 remains: The pressure switch or sensor may be faulty and should be tested and replaced by a technician.
