E9
Junkers E9 on a gas boiler: temperature limiter tripped
Risk level
High
Professional inspection is recommended.
Urgency
High
Quick answer
Junkers E9 means the heat block temperature limiter or the flue gas temperature limiter has tripped. Read the gauge (Bosch asks for 1 to 1.5 bar), bleed radiators if there is air and reset once.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Never bypass a temperature limiter to get the boiler running: it protects the heat block and the flue. If E9 repeats with correct pressure and no air, a technician must see the boiler.
- If you smell gas: close the gas shut-off valve, open the windows, do not operate switches, put out any flame and, from outside the home, call the gas company and an authorised installer. If you smell flue gases: switch the boiler off, open doors and windows and call the installer.
Safe checks you can perform
- System pressure on the gauge
- Bleeding radiators
- One reset with the reset key
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Pump and heat block water side test
- Do not attempt this professional task: Limiter, flow NTC and fuse check
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.
Pump and heat block water side test
What they doThe technician checks the pump runs and water passes through the heat block, as Bosch asks for E9.
They must show youthe pump running and the flow and return temperature difference.
In writingthe heat block condition and what was cleaned or repaired.
Limiter, flow NTC and fuse check
What they doThe technician measures the temperature limiters, the flow NTC and the board fuses with a multimeter.
They must show youthe continuity and NTC readings.
In writingthe part replaced and why.
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.
System pressure on the gauge
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- with the system cold, read the gauge. Bosch says below 1 bar you top up with the filling key to 1 to 1.5 bar.
- Result that matters:
- whether pressure is in that range.
- If it was low and you top it up:
- try again; if E9 does not return, pressure was the cause.
- If pressure keeps dropping:
- Bosch says to contact the installer.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the gauge before and after topping up.

Bleeding radiators
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- if a radiator is colder at the top than the bottom, Bosch says to bleed it with the screw at the top; then check the pressure again.
- Result that matters:
- whether air comes out and radiators heat evenly.
- If air came out and E9 does not return after topping up:
- air was the cause.
- If there is no air and E9 returns:
- air is ruled out; call the technician.
- Evidence to keep:
- a note of which radiators had air and the final pressure.

One reset with the reset key
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- if the reset key is flashing, hold it until the display changes; otherwise switch the boiler off and on, as Bosch says.
- Result that matters:
- whether the boiler runs again without E9.
- If it runs:
- keep watch; if E9 repeats, call the service centre.
- If E9 returns straight away:
- do not insist; call the official service centre with the code.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the display with E9 and the date.

What it means
On the CerapurComfort, E9 means the heat block temperature limiter or the flue gas temperature limiter has tripped. Bosch says to check the operating pressure, the limiter itself, the pump, the board fuses, bleed the appliance and inspect the water side of the heat block. The ZWE manual adds the flow NTC. It usually means water is not carrying heat away; the code does not say whether pressure, air, the pump or the limiter is to blame.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Higheditorial warning
Never bypass a temperature limiter to get the boiler running: it protects the heat block and the flue. If E9 repeats with correct pressure and no air, a technician must see the boiler.

If you smell gas: close the gas shut-off valve, open the windows, do not operate switches, put out any flame and, from outside the home, call the gas company and an authorised installer. If you smell flue gases: switch the boiler off, open doors and windows and call the installer.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Low pressure or air in the circuitCommon
Bosch asks for the operating pressure to be checked and the unit bled. If the gauge is under 1 bar or radiators gurgle, start here.

- Pump not circulatingPossible
Bosch includes the pump in its checks. With correct pressure and no air, a stopped pump leaves the heat block without moving water.

- Heat block fouled on the water sidePossible
Bosch asks for the water side of the heat block to be checked; sludge or scale restrict flow even when the pump works.
Evidence: Junkers CerapurComfort ZWBC 25-2 C, instrucciones de instalación y manejo para el técnico
- Limiter, flow NTC or fusesLess common
If circulation is good, the limiter, the flow NTC or the board fuses are last on the list; measuring confirms them.
