Frequently Asked Questions - Condens 5000W BOSCH

How do I reset the boiler after a fault?
Press and hold the reset button on the control panel for 3 seconds until the display shows normal operation. If the fault persists, check the error code and consult the manual.
What does error code 'A7' mean?
Error code A7 indicates a flame detection fault. Check gas supply, ignition electrodes, and ensure the flue is not blocked. If unresolved, contact a service engineer.
How often should I service the Condens 5000W?
Bosch recommends an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Can I use the boiler without water pressure?
No, the boiler requires minimum water pressure of 1 bar. If pressure drops below 0.5 bar, the boiler will shut down. Repressurize using the filling loop until the gauge shows 1-1.5 bar.
What is the recommended radiator bleeding procedure?
Turn off the boiler, wait for radiators to cool, then use a radiator key to open the bleed valve slightly until air escapes and water flows. Close the valve and check boiler pressure.
How do I set the heating temperature?
Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to adjust the flow temperature for central heating. The range is typically 30-80°C.
Is the Condens 5000W suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes, but you must set the maximum flow temperature to a lower value (e.g., 45-55°C) and install a thermostatic mixing valve to prevent overheating.
What type of flue is required?
A room-sealed flue system compatible with the boiler; typically 80/125 mm concentric pipe. Ensure proper installation according to local regulations.
How do I drain the boiler for winterization?
Draining should only be done by a professional. If necessary, close gas and water valves, loosen drain plugs, and open bleed valves. Protect the system with antifreeze if needed.
Where can I find spare parts?
Spare parts are available from Bosch authorized dealers, online stores, and service centers. Use the model number and serial number to order correct parts.

3.4 Condensate pipe work

i

NOTE:

▶ Where a new or replacement boiler is being installed and freezing conditions are possible, access to an internal “gravity discharge” point should be one of the factors considered in determining boiler location.
The condensate pipe must be a minimum of 40 mm ∅ plastic pipe.
The condensate pipe work must fall at least 50 mm per metre towards the outlet and should take the shortest practicable route.
▶ Ensure that there are no blockages in the pipe run.

3.4.1 Internal connections

Where there is the possibility of freezing conditions and In order to minimise the freezing risk during prolonged cold spells, the following methods of installing condensate drainage pipe should be adopted, in order of priority.

Wherever possible, the condensate drainage pipe should be routed and terminated so that the condensate drains away from the boiler under gravity to a suitable internal soil and vent stack. A suitable permanent connection to the foul waste pipe should be used.

A self sealing device should be incorporated in the drainage path, if possible, in an upright position. A tundish should be used as a suitable air gap just before the self sealing device. The self sealing device can be used on a gradient as long as it preceded by a vertically mounted tundish.

3.5 Pressure relief drain line

i

NOTE:

▶ The PRV is a safety device for the boiler and if activated may discharge boiling water steam through the relief valve drain line.
▶ Care should be taken when siting the drain line so that it does not cause an obstruction or discharge above a window, entrance or other public access where it could cause a hazard.

  • The pressure relief valve and control valve shall be fitted with a drain line that shall be of copper or other suitable pipping and be of a diameter not smaller than the nominal size of the valve outlet as per AS/NZS 3500.
  • Drain line should be finished with a partial bend, near the outlet to face the external wall to help prevent freezing.
  • Pressure relief discharge pipe can be between 200 and 300mm above a paved area [1].
  • Pressure relief discharge pipe can be between 75 and 300mm when discharging into a gravel pit [2] of not less than 100mm diameter.

7 Fault finding and diagnosis

7.1 Fault finding

BOSCH Condens 5000W - Fault finding - 1

This fault finding information is for guidance only. Robert Bosch cannot be held responsible for costs incurred by incorrectly diagnosed faults.

BOSCH Condens 5000W - Fault finding - 2

This fault finding system assumes that the boiler has been operating normally until the time of failure (i.e. not a first installation error).

The electronic control system for this boiler incorporates a blue central indicator. This normally confirms the permanent mains supply but, by flashing at different rates during a fault, provides a guide to the cause as listed.

Basic checks

  • Ensure that there is 230V power supply and the polarity is correct to the appliance.
  • Ensure that the appliance settings and functionality is correct.
  • Ensure the CH/DHW programmer/timer is functioning.
  • Ensure the room thermostat is functioning.
  • Ensure the cylinder thermostat (if fitted) is functioning.
  • Ensure the cold water mains is turned on?
  • Ensure the primary system has adequate pressure/system content for the system type.
  • Ensure there is gas to the appliance?
  • Are other gas appliances working, gas cooker/hob for example?
  • Has the credit run out on the gas pre-payment meter?

NOTICE:

On completion of the Service/Fault-Finding task which has required the breaking and remaking of electrical connections, check:

▶ Earth continuity,
▶ Short circuit check,
▶ Polarity,
▶ Resistance to earth.

Blue light indicationLockout reset buttonFault Possible solution/check
OFF OFF No power at controlboard▶ Check:– Permanent mains supply to the boiler– Fuse F1 - 2.5A or Fuse F3 - 0.5A– Transformer (primary coil below 60 Ω, both secondary coil below 60 Ω.▶ Otherwise replace control board
ON OFF Boiler not operatingduring central heating demand▶ Check:– Live demand at ST10-L _R (from external controls, room thermostat/timer)– Fascia mounted (if fitted)– CH control knob is not in winter position ( ) *▶ Otherwise replace control board
Boiler operating without live demand at ST10-L _R (from external controls, room thermostat/timer)Some older thermostats (containing capacitors) may give a low voltage return at ST10-L _R when the thermostat contacts are open.▶ Check that there is no permanent live at ST10-L _R from another source.– Rectify external equipment providing voltage when there should be none during a no demand period.
Boiler not operating during hot water demand (CH ok)▶ Check:– Live demand at ST10-L _R (from external controls, cylinder thermostat/timer)– Fascia mounted (if fitted)– CH control knob is not in winter position ( ) *▶ Check (if “optional integral diverter valve” is fitted)– Diverter valve– Diverter valve motor▶ Otherwise replace control board
Boiler not operating during any demand.▶ Check fan:▶ Otherwise replace control board
Blue light indicationLockout reset buttonFault Possible solution/check
Slow flash (mostly OFF, flashes ON)Flashing (reset required)Ignition lockout ▶ Check gas is present and at the correct pressure. ▶ Check gas valve: - Check that there is 29V d.c. to each solenoid - Check the resistance of each solenoid: Top solenoid = 380 ± 10% ( 342 - 418 ) Bottom solenoid = 190 ± 10% ( 171 - 209 ) - Gas valve adjustment. ▶ Check combustion CO _2 level. ▶ Check flue condition, ensure the flue is not blocked or restricted. ▶ Check for blocked condensate pipe or frozen condensate. ▶ Check condition and continuity of ignition electrodes/harness/connections. ▶ Otherwise replace control board
Slow flash (mostly ON, flashes OFF)OFF Flue overheatFlue temperature too high ▶ Check heat exchanger baffles are correctly fitted or removed and not refitted
Heat exchanger overheat ▶ Check: - Water pressure. - All air is vented. - Pump/harness/connections. - Water leaks/blockage. - Safety thermostats/low voltage wiring harness/connections. - Blocked heat exchanger. ▶ Otherwise replace control board
Fast flash OFF Volatile lockout(sensor fan or code plug) ▶ Check: - Temperature sensors: Condition and resistance of the leads. - Fan. 230V A.C. across the live (purple) and neutral (brown) Fan lead continuity. - Code plug. Is code plug missing or not inserted properly?
2 pulses No Light Not a fault code Service mode selected to minimum.
