E0

Your boiler has detected a problem with one of its temperature sensors and has stopped working as a safety precaution.

High Engineer only £90-180

Parts commonly replaced

  • NTC Temperature Sensor
  • Wiring harness
  • Control board (PCB)

E1

Your boiler has become too hot and has shut itself down as a safety precaution to prevent damage.

High DIY-safe £80-250

What to check first

  1. Check that your boiler pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar
  2. Ensure all radiator valves and the boiler isolation valves are fully open
  3. Bleed your radiators to remove trapped air that might be blocking water flow

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat thermostat
  • Circulating pump
  • Main heat exchanger (if blocked)

Related codes

E2

Your boiler is struggling to move water through the system, which is usually caused by trapped air or a blockage in the pipes.

High DIY-safe £0-250

What to check first

  1. Check that the boiler pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar
  2. Turn off the heating and use a radiator key to bleed air from all radiators
  3. Ensure all radiator valves (TRVs) are fully open
  4. Reset the boiler using the reset button

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulation Pump
  • Pressure Sensor
  • Automatic Air Vent

E3

Your boiler's electronic control centre has developed an internal fault and is unable to communicate with the rest of the system.

High Engineer only £250-£450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Wiring Harness
E4

Your boiler is struggling to light and stay on, which can sometimes be caused by trapped air in your heating system preventing the water from flowing correctly.

High DIY-safe £90-280

What to check first

  1. Turn off the boiler and wait for the radiators to cool down
  2. Use a radiator key to bleed any air from all radiators in the house
  3. Check the boiler pressure gauge and top it up to 1.5 bar if it has dropped
  4. Press the 'Reset' button on the boiler control panel

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Flame sensing probe
  • Gas valve
  • Spark generator

E10

Your boiler has lost water pressure or cannot move water around the system, which has caused it to stop working for safety.

High DIY-safe £0-180

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler or under the casing.
  2. If the needle is below 1 bar, locate the filling loop (braided silver hose) under the boiler.
  3. Slowly open the valve(s) until the pressure reaches 1.5 bar, then close them tightly.
  4. Restart the boiler to see if the fault clears.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulation pump
  • Water pressure switch
  • Expansion vessel

E12

The main computer inside your boiler has encountered a technical failure and is unable to control the heating process.

High Engineer only £280-550

Parts commonly replaced

  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Internal Wiring Harness

E13

Your boiler has sensed a dangerous level of overheating within its internal system and has locked itself down as a safety precaution.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced
