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 affected boiler-module display alternates or shows E32. Heat output from that module may be delayed, restricted or shut down, although the second module may behave differently.
Common causes
The module control detected return thermistor short circuit. Possible causes depend on the code and include system pressure or circulation, excessive temperature, fan operation, ignition or flame proving, a thermistor circuit, gas-valve connection, thermal protection or internal electronics.
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 E32 and identify which C90/C110 module display shows it. Do not remove the cabinet; the documented cause requires qualified internal diagnosis.
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 E32 reappears, note when it happens and give that information to the service engineer.
Reset instructions
A shutdown code requires the underlying fault to be corrected before restart. Follow the official procedure once only; repeated lockout requires a qualified engineer.
