The code identifies the condition detected by the product; it does not always identify the failed component on its own. Confirm the full code and exact model before ordering parts or attempting a reset.
The ACV Prestige 24/32 condensing boiler b116 error code indicates aCV documents b116 for the Prestige Solo 24/32 and Prestige Excellence 24/32 MCBA range as: Supply frequency more than 1.5 Hz out of tolerance. This is a blocking condition that may clear when the operating condition returns to normal. This guide explains what the code means, the symptoms and likely causes, the checks that are safe to make, and when to stop and arrange an authorised repair.
Symptoms you may notice
The boiler display shows b116. The Prestige boiler may interrupt burner operation, stop firing, restrict heating or hot-water operation, or remain in a protective state.
Common causes
The official ACV MCBA code table associates b116 with supply frequency more than 1.5 hz out of tolerance. The exact sensor, airflow, gas, water-pressure, fan, supply, controller or combustion cause must be confirmed on the installed boiler.
Before you start troubleshooting
Use the display, rating label or product menu to confirm the exact model. Similar-looking codes can have different meanings across product generations and regions.
- Record the complete code before switching the equipment off.
- Check only user-accessible controls, filters and external connections described in the manual.
- Do not open gas, refrigerant, combustion or electrical compartments.
Troubleshooting steps
Record b116 and the exact Prestige model. Do not remove the boiler casing. Internal electrical, gas, combustion, fan, sensor and pressure-switch tests require a qualified heating engineer.
Can you fix this error code yourself?
The safest next step depends on the exact model and the cause behind the code. External checks may help, but a returning fault needs professional diagnosis.
A successful reset is not proof that the underlying issue is fixed. If b116 reappears, note when it happens and give that information to the service engineer.
Reset instructions
Do not repeatedly reset a blocking code. Allow the boiler to respond to the documented operating condition and use RESET only when the official instructions permit it. Arrange service if b116 persists.
