Common Navien Boiler Error Codes & Faults

Some Navien boiler faults are more common than others, no matter who the manufacturer is. Whether you’re looking at Navien combi boiler error codes or those for your system boiler, some issues are going to come up more often.

The most common cause of this problem is low pressure in our heating system. Have a check of your Navien NCB combi boiler manual to determine what pressure your boiler should be to see if this might be causing the issue.

Pressure problems can often be quickly sorted out without needing to call in an engineer. Our complete guide to pressure issues in boilers is a great place to start. No new boiler costs just yet!

 

How to fix a 10e fault code

For the Navien boiler error code 10e, you’re probably looking at an issue related to the air pressure. When the air pressure is too high, then the system shuts down to prevent any further damage being done to your boiler. There are several reasons why this might happen, including:

  • a damaged air pressure hose
  • clogged condensed water hose
  • faulty air pressure sensor

So, this is one of those issues that does need an engineer to come out. They’ll be able to work out precisely what might be causing the problem and suggest ways of getting it fixed.

If you have cover for your boiler, then you’ll be able to call out for help knowing that there’s no need to worry about unexpected bills!

How to fix a 302 fault code

The Navien boiler error code e302 also relates to low pressure in your system. Just as before, you may be able to fix this yourself by adding water to the boiler, which in turn increases the pressure. Have a look in your manual for instructions on how to do this for your boiler because the method can vary between models.
