Main Boiler Error Codes

Error codes are shown on Main boilers to indicate that the product has an issue. Below you will find a list of Main boiler error codes for all current Main products and we’ve even given you guidance (where available) on the action you need to take.

E09 Gas valve connection error
E15v Gas valve error
E20 Central heating negative thermistor coefficient (NTC) sensor error
E28 Flue negative thermistor coefficient (NTC) sensor error
E40 Central heating return sensor error
E83 Communication error
E109 Pre-circulation fault
E110 Safety thermostat operated
E118 Primary system water pressure too low
E125 Circulation error
E128 Flame error
E130 Flue negative thermistor coefficient (NTC) sensor operated
E133 Interruption of gas supply or flame error
E135 Interruption of gas supply
E154 Flow return sensor temperature test
E160 Fan or fan wiring error
E270 Circulation fault (dry fire)
E321 Hot water negative thermistor coefficient (NTC) error
E384 False flame

The error code E133 on the Main boiler simply means that the condensate pipe is frozen. This issue usually occurs during the cold winter months as the condensate pipe leads outside. Luckily this is an issue that can be resolved fairly quickly without the need for an engineer. You just need to thaw out the condensate pipe.
Error Code Possible Fault
1 Green Flash Boiler temp reached
2 Green Flash Boiler temp reached
3 Green Flash Temporary Flame Loss
4 Green Flash Communication error between PCB and Control
5 Green Flash Parameter Error On PSU/PCB
6 Green Flash Miscellaneous Error
1 Red Flash Sensor Error; Sensor Fault, Temperature Fault or Flow Fault
2 Red Flash Boiler overheat tripped
3 Red Flash Ignition fault. Boiler has attempted to light 5 times and failed
4 Red Flash Fan Fault
5 Red Flash Parameter or PSU Error
6 Red Flash Miscellaneous
