Fault Codes and Troubleshooting Methods

LED Fault Indicator Code Meaning Possible Cause
E1* Fake flame fault, residual flame fault, or ignition failure Flame signal detected during startup; flame signal detected when combustion stops; no flame detected after ignition.
E2* Overheat fault Temperature > 90°C, causing the overheat relay to open.
E3* Flue draft pressure fault Abnormal flue pressure switch or blower operation.
E4* Water flow or pressure fault Abnormal water flow or water pressure switch.
E5 Valve voltage fault Voltage detected before startup or loose wiring connections.
E6* Hot water NTC fault Hot water NTC sensor open-circuit or short-circuit.
E7* Heating NTC fault Heating NTC sensor open-circuit or short-circuit.
E0* Frost protection activation Unit shuts down when hot water NTC reads < 2°C; enters frost protection mode when heating NTC reads < 4°C.
EB* Flue gas temperature fault Exhaust gas temperature too high.
EL* Condensate fault Condensate drain pipe blocked.
EU* Communication fault Electromagnetic interference.
Fault Code: “E0”
  • Meaning: Heat exchanger pipe temperature ≤ 2°C
  • Possible Cause: Frost protection activated
  • Solution: The unit automatically halts all operations and displays “E0” on screen. The fault clears automatically once temperature returns to normal. Frost protection mode activates when heating NTC temperature drops below 4°C.

Fault Code: “E1”
  • Meaning: No flame detected after startup or abnormal residual flame signal
  • Possible Cause: Ignition failure or false flame detection
  • Solution: Power-cycle the unit. If the issue persists, contact an authorized service technician.

Fault Code: “E2”
  • Meaning: Overheat protection activated
  • Possible Cause: Excessively high temperature (> 90°C)
  • Solution: Check for blockages in system piping and filters; restart the unit. If recurring, contact a qualified technician.

Fault Code: “E3”
  • Meaning: Flue pressure switch fault
  • Possible Cause: Flue pressure switch not closing or blower malfunction
  • Solution: Inspect flue exhaust duct for obstructions; have a certified service technician inspect the blower system.

Fault Code: “E4”
  • Meaning: Abnormal water flow or pressure switch
  • Possible Cause: Low water pressure or restricted water flow
  • Solution: Check inlet valve and filter mesh; ensure water pressure > 1 bar. If unresolved, contact a qualified technician.

Fault Code: “E6”
  • Meaning: Hot water temperature sensor fault
  • Possible Cause: Hot water NTC sensor open-circuit or short-circuit
  • Solution: Contact an authorized service technician.

Fault Code: “E7”
  • Meaning: Heating temperature sensor fault
  • Possible Cause: Heating NTC sensor open-circuit or short-circuit
  • Solution: Contact an authorized service technician.

Fault Code: “EA”
  • Meaning: Temperature exceeds 90°C
  • Possible Cause: Hot water temperature too high
  • Solution: Same resolution as for fault code “E2”.
