Junkers CERASTAR CERAMINI Boiler
20 fault codes documented
A2 — Exhaust outlet at the combustion chamber
An issue with the exhaust outlet has been detected specifically at the combustion chamber. This could indicate a problem with flue gas extraction directly from the combustion area, such as a blockage.
A3 — Exhaust gas NTC on the flow control has open circuit or short circuit
The exhaust gas NTC sensor, specifically the one located on the flow control, has an open circuit (no signal) or a short circuit (incorrect signal). This affects exhaust gas monitoring and safety.
A4 — Exhaust outlet at the flow guard
An issue has been detected with the exhaust outlet by the flow guard system. This typically indicates a problem with flue gas discharge, such as a blockage or poor flow.
A6 — Exhaust gas NTC on the combustion chamber has an open circuit or short circuit
The exhaust gas NTC sensor located specifically on the combustion chamber has an open circuit (no signal) or a short circuit (incorrect signal). This sensor monitors safety and combustion efficiency.
A7 — Hot water NTC has an open circuit or short circuit
The NTC sensor that measures the hot water temperature is experiencing either an open circuit (no signal) or a short circuit (incorrect signal). This prevents accurate temperature readings for hot water.
AC — No signal detection between TA 211 E or RAM and circuit board
There is a lack of communication or signal detection between the external control unit (TA 211 E or RAM) and the boiler's main circuit board. This can prevent proper operation or control.
Ad — Memory NTC has open circuit or short circuit
The NTC sensor designated for memory functions (e.g., a storage tank or specific temperature settings) has an open circuit (no signal) or a short circuit (incorrect signal). This can affect temperature management.
b1 — Coding plug not recognized by the circuit board
The boiler's main circuit board cannot detect the coding plug. This plug is essential for the boiler to operate correctly and interpret its settings.
CC — Outside sensor at TA 211 E has interruption
The outside temperature sensor (TA 211 E) is not providing a signal to the boiler, indicating a break in communication or a fault with the sensor itself. This affects weather-compensated control.
d1 — No feedback voltage from LSM 5
The boiler is not receiving the expected feedback voltage signal from the LSM 5 unit. This unit is typically involved in controlling the exhaust flap, affecting safe flue gas operation.
E0 — Internal error on the circuit board
A general internal error has occurred within the boiler's main circuit board. This indicates a component or software malfunction that prevents normal operation.
E2 — Flow NTC has an open circuit or short circuit
The NTC sensor that measures the heating flow temperature is showing either an open circuit (no signal) or a short circuit (incorrect signal). This prevents the boiler from accurately monitoring the heating water temperature.
E5 — Temperature at the burner NTC exceeded
The NTC sensor responsible for monitoring the burner temperature has detected a temperature higher than the allowed limit. This indicates a potential overheating issue.
E7 — Burner NTC has an interruption
The NTC sensor for the burner has an interruption, meaning its signal is lost or discontinuous. This prevents accurate temperature measurement at the burner.
E8 — Minimum pressure switch has triggered
The minimum pressure switch has activated, indicating that the heating system's water pressure has dropped below the safe operating threshold, typically 0.5 bar. The boiler will likely stop operating.
E9 — Safety Temperature Limiter (STB) tripped
The Safety Temperature Limiter (STB) has activated, indicating that a critical temperature limit has been reached or exceeded within the boiler. This is a safety shutdown.
EA — No ionization current
The boiler is not detecting any ionization current, which means there is no flame present or the flame detection system is not working. This will prevent the boiler from igniting or operating.
F7 — Incorrect ionization signal
The boiler is detecting an incorrect ionization signal, which means there's a problem with how the flame is being detected or confirmed. This can lead to safety shutdowns.
FA — Ionization current remains after controlled shutdown
The boiler detects an ionization current (indicating a flame) even after it has attempted a controlled shutdown. This is a safety critical issue as gas may still be burning or leaking.
Gas connection pressure out of range (under 18 or over 24 mbar)
The natural gas connection flow pressure is measured to be outside the required range of 18 to 24 mbar. When this happens, the boiler cannot be adjusted or started safely.
