Nefit fault code 212
Fault code 212 on a Nefit boiler (including 9000i) means: The flow or safety temperature sensor measures too rapid a temperature rise. Reset the appliance once. If the code comes back, a part is usually faulty, often a temperature sensor. You can check the water pressure and settings yourself; leave work on gas-carrying parts to a certified gas engineer.
After a safety alert (gas, flue gas, combustion), reset no more than once and call in a certified gas engineer. If you smell gas, call your national gas emergency number or 112 immediately.
Cause
Fault code 212 on a Nefit boiler indicates: The flow or safety temperature sensor measures too rapid a temperature rise.
Fixing fault code 212: step by step
- Reset the appliance once; a one-off measuring error will then clear.
- Where you can reach it without opening the sealed combustion section, check that the sensor plug is seated firmly and the wiring is undamaged.
- If the code comes back, the sensor or its wiring is usually faulty (short or open circuit). Sensors in the sealed combustion section should be replaced by a qualified heating engineer.
