What the manual says
Manufacturer manualAUX return sensor failure
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer receives an incorrect or missing signal from the sensor that monitors water coming back from your radiators. This is usually caused by the sensor itself burning out or developing a physical defect, but it can also happen if the internal wiring has become loose or damaged. Because the boiler cannot accurately track the water temperature, it shuts down to prevent the system from overheating.
Engineer required
This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like E16: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
