What causes the Worcester Bosch D3232 fault?

This fault occurs when a safety device connected to the boiler’s control board has broken the electrical circuit to stop the unit from running. The most common reason is a blocked condensate pump that has reached its limit and sent a signal to prevent an overflow, or an external thermostat that has malfunctioned. Essentially, a secondary safety device has stepped in to shut the system down for protection.

This fault is frequently seen during cold snaps when external condensate pipes freeze, causing the pump to backup and trigger the safety switch.

Typical repair cost £90-220 (including labour)

DIY fix possible

Check if your thermostat or programmer is calling for heat and has working batteries.If you have a condensate pump, check if it is full of water or blocked.Ensure all external switches or emergency stop buttons near the boiler are in the 'On' position.
