| Worcester Bosch Error Code EA 229 or D5 |
If you’re seeing the error code EA 229 or D5 on your Worcester Bosch boiler, this means that the condensate pipe is frozen.
This happens due to the condensate pipe running outside, however this is an issue that you could fix yourself if you feel confident enough, you can find out how in our handy guide. |
