E12 on Viessmann Vitodens 050-W B0KA-30-M

Your boiler has lost its connection to Viessmann's online service, which is usually a temporary communication problem and does not normally stop your heating or hot water from working.

Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

What the manual says

Manufacturer manual

If "E12" is displayed, the connection to the server could not be established. Re-establish the connection at a later time.

DIY fix possible

Check that your home internet router is switched on and that other devices in the house can get online.Turn the boiler off at its on/off switch, wait about 30 seconds, then switch it back on.Wait 15 to 30 minutes and see whether the E12 code clears on its own, as the connection can be re-established later.If the code returns, check that the boiler's internet module (Vitoconnect) is firmly connected and that your Wi-Fi signal reaches the boiler's location.If the code persists after these steps, contact a Gas Safe registered engineer or Viessmann support to check the internet module and network settings.
