Risk level

Medium

Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.

Urgency

Medium

Quick answer

Junkers E2 means the boiler reads the heating flow temperature sensor as faulty. Without that reading the boiler cannot regulate. Reset once and, if it stays, call the service centre.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Bosch states the customer must not modify or repair the appliance and recommends an annual maintenance contract with an official service centre.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Reset or power cycle
  • Model and appliance details
  • Flow sensor measurement

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Flow NTC measurement
  • Do not attempt this professional task: Heating test after the repair

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Flow NTC measurement

    What they doThe technician measures the flow sensor resistance with a multimeter against the manufacturer's curve and checks the cable.

    They must show youthe measured value against the curve.

    In writingwhat was measured and what was replaced.

  2. Heating test after the repair

    What they doAfter the repair, the technician runs the heating and checks the flow temperature rises and settles without E2.

    They must show youthe flow temperature on the display.

    In writingthe date and result.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Reset or power cycle

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    if the reset key is flashing, hold it; otherwise switch the boiler off and on, as Bosch says.
    Result that matters:
    whether E2 clears and the boiler shows a flow temperature.
    If it clears and does not return:
    note the date.
    If E2 returns:
    call the official service centre with the code and appliance details.
    Evidence to keep:
    a photo of the display with E2.

  2. Model and appliance details

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    note the model and the rating plate details before calling; Bosch asks for the fault and appliance details.
    Result that matters:
    having the exact model so the technician brings the right sensor.
    If you have the model:
    the technician can come prepared.
    If you cannot find it:
    take a general photo of the boiler.
    Evidence to keep:
    a photo of the rating plate.

  3. Flow sensor measurement

    Tools required

    Who:
    official service technician.
    How:
    measures the flow sensor and its cable continuity.
    Result that matters:
    whether the sensor is within its curve and the cable is not open.
    If the sensor is off the curve:
    that confirms the sensor.
    If it measures fine:
    it points to the cable or connector.
    Evidence to keep:
    a report with the measured values.

    The sensor is in the boiler circuit, next to mains voltage and gas: the technician measures it.

What it means

On the CerapurComfort, E2 is "flow temperature sensor defective", and Bosch says to check the sensor and its cable. On the ZWE, the same code is an open flow NTC. The flow sensor measures the water going out to the radiators and the control uses it to modulate the burner; with an impossible reading it cannot regulate. The sensor, cable or connector can fail. The code does not tell them apart.

Warnings and stop conditions

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • Damaged flow sensorCommon

    Bosch names the sensor. If it measures off its curve with a good cable, it is the cause.

    Evidence: Junkers CerapurComfort ZWBC 25-2 C, instrucciones de instalación y manejo para el técnico · Junkers ZWE 24-3 y 28-3 H A con Bosch Heatronic, instrucciones de instalación

  • Sensor cable or connectorPossible

    Bosch asks for the connecting cable to be checked; a break or loose connector gives the same impossible reading.
