Boiler Error Codes Explained

A general guide to common fault codes across the major brands. Always check your specific model's manual too, as codes can vary slightly between models within the same brand.

CodeBrandGenerally means
EAWorcester BoschIgnition fault — boiler failed to light
F28 / F29Worcester BoschFault locked out after a failed ignition attempt
A1 / A6Worcester BoschLow system pressure
F.28VaillantFailed to ignite / loss of flame
F.75VaillantPoor circulation, low pressure or pump fault
F.22VaillantWater pressure too low
E133BaxiNo ignition, or gas supply interruption
E110BaxiOverheat — the boiler has locked out for safety
E119BaxiLow water pressure
F1IdealLow water pressure
F2IdealOverheat lockout
L2IdealIgnition failure
E133PottertonIgnition or gas supply fault
E119PottertonLow system pressure

This is general guidance, not a diagnosis — the same code can point to more than one underlying cause depending on the model and history of the boiler. If a code keeps recurring after a reset, that's a sign it needs a proper look rather than repeated resetting.
