Technical description: Water transducer fault
What causes the Vokera E042 fault?
This fault occurs when the internal sensor responsible for monitoring water pressure fails to send a reliable signal to the main control board. The most common cause is a component failure within the transducer itself or a loose connection in the wiring harness. Because the boiler cannot verify if there is enough water to operate safely, it shuts down to prevent internal overheating.
