Worcester Bosch GB162 Boiler Error Codes

Fault DescriptionSystem Behaviour
208The boiler is in chimney sweep mode
200The boiler is in heating mode
201The boiler is in domestic hot water (DHW) mode
202The boiler is waiting – there was a heat demand from the on off or modulating control
203The boiler is on standby
204The boiler is waiting – the actual temperature is higher than the calculated or selected boiler temperature
212The temperature recorded by the flow temperature sensor or the safety sensor is rising too quickly
226Diagnosis tool was connected and is now locked out
260The flow temperature sensor is not detecting a rise in temperature following a burner start
265The boiler is waiting in response to a heat demand – the boiler regularly switches to partial load
268Component test phase
270The boiler is modulating upwards
283The boiler is preparing for a burner start – the fan and pump are activated
284The gas valve is switched
305The boiler is waiting for domestic hot water (DHW) operation to end
235The KIM (boiler identification module) is too new for the burner control unit
360The KIM that has been fitted is not compatible with the burner control unit
9A 361The burner control unit that has been fitted is not compatible with the KIM (boiler identification module)
9U 233The burner control unit or KIM (boiler identification module) is faulty
A3 317Short circuit in the flue gas temperature sensor contacts
B7 257The burner control unit or the KIM (boiler identification module) is faulty
C1 264No control signal or power supply to the fan during operation
C4 273The boiler was switched off for a maximum of 2 minutes because it had been operating continuously for more than 24 hours
C6 215The fan speed is too high
C6 216The fan speed is too low
C7 214The fan does not run during the start phase
C7 217The fan speed is irregular when starting up
CE 207Water pressure is too low
CE 266Pump test failed
D1 240The contacts of the boiler return temperature sensor have been short circuited
D1 241The contacts of the boiler return temperature sensor have been interrupted
D3 232The external switching contact has opened
D4 213The actual temperature recorded by the flow temperature sensor or return temperature sensor is rising too quickly
D4 271Actual temperature differential between flow and safety temperature sensor is too high
D4 286The boiler return temperature sensor has detected a return temperature higher than 105°c
E2 222Short circuit in the flow temperature sensor contacts
E2 223The flow temperature sensor contacts have been interrupted
E5 218The temperature captured by the flow temperature sensor exceeded 105°c
E9 210The temperature measured by the flue gas sensor is too high and is open
E9 219The safety temperature sensor has captured a temperature in excess of 105°C
E9 220The contacts for the safety temperature sensor have shorted or the safety temperature sensor has detected a temperature higher than 130°c
E9 224The contacts of the safety temperature sensor have been interrupted
E9 276The temperature flow sensor has measured a temperature in excess of 95°c
E9 277The safety temperature sensor has measured temperature in excess of 95°c
E9 285The boiler return temperature sensor has measured a temperature higher than 95°c
E9 318The flue gas temperature sensor contacts have been interrupted
EA 227An insufficient ionisation current was measured following ignition of the burner
EA 229The ionisation current detected by the system during the burning phase was insufficient
EA 234The contacts of the gas valve have been interrupted
EA 261The burner control unit is faulty
EA 269The ignition device has been activated for too long
F0 238The burner control unit KIM (boiler identification module) is faulty
F0 239The burner control unit KIM (boiler identification module) has an error. Cabling might have poor contact breaks and pinching or the plug and wiring of the burner control unit needs checking, also check the operating characteristics of the boiler by replacing the burner control unit.
F0 242, F0 243. F0 244. F0 245, F0 246. F0 247, F0 248, F0 249, F0 250, F0 251, F0 252, F0 253, F0 255, F0 259, F0 263, F0 267, F0 272The burner control unit (KIM) is faulty – the wiring of the burner control unit needs checking, also check the operating characteristics of the boiler by replacing the burner control unit.
F0 278The sensor test has failed – cabling and plug sensors need checking
F0 279The burner control unit, or KIM, is faulty – control unit may need replacing
F0 280The burner control unit is faulty
F0 287The burner control unit, or KIM, has an error
F0 290The burner control unit, or KIM, is faulty
F7 228An ionisation current was measured before the burner started
F7 328A brief power failure has occurred
FA 306An ionisation current was measured after the burner went out
FD 231The mains voltage was interrupted during an interlocking fault
EC 256The burner control unit has an error
EH 258The burner control unit is faulty – check the plug and wiring of the burner control unit.
H07The current water pressure is too low, limiting the performance in heat mode as well as domestic hot water (DHW) mode
HrEThe boiler keeps resetting
rEThe boiler resets
