We know how frustrating it is when your Worcester Bosch boiler displays an error code.
Worcester Bosch boilers are designed to be reliable, but like any heating system, they can sometimes develop issues. Fault codes make it easier to identify what’s gone wrong by showing a code on the display. These error messages cover problems such as ignition failures, low pressure, faulty sensors, and overheating.
If your Worcester Bosch boiler error codes, don’t panic — some are quick fixes, like repressurising your system, while others may need a Gas Safe engineer to investigate.
Below you’ll find a list of the most common Worcester Bosch boiler error codes and what they mean, along with possible causes and fixes.
