• 00 – Flow Temperature Sensor interruption – Usually this means that the NTC plug has come loose, or it’s damaged in some way
• 01 – Return Temperature Sensor interruption – Usually this means that the NTC plug has come unstock or has been severely damaged, or that the NTC is damaged
• 10 – Flow NTC short circuit – Typically implies that the NTC is damaged, or that there is a short circuit in the cable harness
• 11 – Return NTC short circuit – Usually means that the NTC has been compromised, or that a short circuit has occurred in the cable harness
• 20 – Safety Switch off temperature limiter – Usually means there is an incorrect “Earth” connection between the cable harness and the boiler
• 22 – Safety Switch off low water pressure – There will be no water pressure, or the pressure is too low in the boiler – additionally, it could be a damaged sensor
• 23 – Safety Switch off with high temperature rise – Usually means that the bump has become blocked, or there is a poor output from the pump. Could also mean air in the boiler
• 24 – Safety Switch off fast temperature rise – Usually implies a break in the plug connection, or a break in the cable harness
• 25 – Safety Switch off flue gas temperature risen – The pump could be blocked or not performing to it’s capacity, or there could be a break in the cable harness
• 26 – Gas Valve with no function – Usually implies that the gas stepper motor has become disconnected or there is an interruption in the cable harness
• 27 – Safety Switch off flame simulations – Points to moisture on electronics, or a damaged flames sensor, or a leaking gas valve
• 28 – Failure to startup, unsuccessful ignition – Defective gas meter or the gas pressure regulator has been triggered. Could also be that air has got into the gas supply, or the gas pressure is too low
• 29 – Failure to startup, failed ignition – The could supply cold have dropped, there could be a condensate duct blocked or there is a faulty earthing in the boiler
• 32 0 Fan Fault – The plug could not be inserted properly, or there could be a snap in the cable harness
• 49 – eBUs Fault – Short circuit on the eBUS, or an overload of the two power supplies within the eBUS
• 61 – Gas valve regulation – Usually defective electrics or damaged gas valve, but it could be a short-circuit to the earth in a cable harness
• 62 – Gas valve switch-off delay – Could be a delayed shutdown of the gas valve, a leaking gas valve or defective electrics
• 63 – EEPROM – This can only be caused by defective electrics
• 64 – NTC Fault – Caused by damage to the supply and return of the NTC or defective electrics
• 65 – Electronics temperature fault – Usually caused by overheating due to other influences or defective electronics
• 67 – Flame Fault – A damaged flame signal, or faulty electronics
• 68 – Unstable flame signal – There usually could be air in the gas, or too low a flow pressure
• 70 – Invalid DSN (Device Specific Number) – The display and PCB were changed at the same time, and the appliance code needs reset
• 71 – Flow NTC Fault – A problem with the flow temperature sensor or a defective sensor
• 72 – Flow/Return NTC Fault – Flow/return NTC temperature difference which is too high, or the sensor could be damaged
• 73 – Water pressure sensor signal too low – Short-circuit to the water pressure sensor, or damage to the supply line to the water pressure
• 74 – Water pressure sensor signal too high – The cable to the water pressure may be damaged, or there is damage inside with the pressure sensor
• 75 – No pressure change detection – Usually damage to the pump or the water pressure sensor, or there is air in the heating installation
• 76 – Overheating protection responding – Usually means that the safety fuse cables have become damaged and need replaced
• 77 – Flue non-return flap/condensate pump damage – When there is no response from the flap, could be caused by defective condensate pump
• 78 – DWH Outlet Sensor fault – Usually means that the UK link box is connected, but there is no bridge between the NTC and the hot water
• 83 – Return temperature sensor change fault – When the burner begins, the temperature registered may be non-existent or undervalued. Usually caused by a lack of water in the boiler
• 84 – Implausible temperature difference with flow/return sensor – Usually caused by an inversion of the flow and return sensors, or that they been wrongly fitted
• 85 – Incorrect fitting of Fault: Flow and return sensors – Sensors have been fitted to the same pipe or the wrong pipes
