What causes the Worcester Bosch E2 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal thermometer, which monitors the temperature of the water leaving the unit, fails or sends an incorrect signal to the control board. The most common reason is that the sensor has physically degraded over time or suffered an electrical short, meaning the boiler can no longer safely regulate its heat output. In some cases, the issue may also be caused by damaged or loose wiring connecting the sensor to the main computer.

Typical repair cost £90-160 (including labour)
