🛠️ Complete Guide: Bosch and Junkers Boiler Error Codes
When your heating system stops working and displays a flashing code on the screen, the self-diagnostic system is trying to communicate a specific fault. In this guide, prepared by the Termix.ro experts, we have centralized the most frequent error codes for Bosch (Gaz, Condens) and Junkers (Euroline, Ceraclass) models, along with recommended solutions.
⚠️ Warning: If an error persists after resetting, or if you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply and contact a certified HVAC technician!
🔍 Most Common Bosch & Junkers Error Codes
| Error Code | Meaning | What to Check? |
| A7 | Domestic Hot Water (DHW) sensor fault. | Check NTC sensor connections or replace the sensor. |
| C6 | Fan or air pressure switch failure. | Inspect the flue/exhaust pipe and ensure the fan is spinning. |
| E9 | Safety temperature limiter (STB) tripped. | Check for low system pressure or a blocked circulation pump. |
| EA | Flame not detected (Ignition failure). | Ensure the gas valve is open and the ignition electrode is clean. |
| F7 / FA | Flame detected after the burner should have stopped. | Check the ionization electrode and look for moisture on the PCB. |
| CE / [ ] | System pressure is too low. | Check the pressure gauge and refill the system to 1.5 bar. |
💡 Quick Troubleshooting Steps (DIY)
Before calling a service engineer, try these simple steps to resolve minor faults:
-
Check the Pressure: Ensure the needle on the pressure gauge is in the green zone ($1.2 - 1.5$ bar). If it is below $1.0$, use the filling loop to add water.
-
Reset the Boiler: Press and hold the "Reset" button for 3–5 seconds. Often, a temporary software glitch or a power surge can be cleared with a simple restart.
-
Check Gas Supply: Verify if other gas appliances (like a stove) are working. Sometimes the external gas regulator may be tripped.
-
Power Supply: Ensure the boiler is properly plugged in. Note that some older Bosch/Junkers models are polarity-sensitive (Phase/Neutral).
