2. Analysis of common causes
According to the on-site feedback from the maintenance technician, the E5 failure is mainly related to the following factors:
1.Smoke exhaust system problems: Flue blockage (birds nesting/snow accumulation), fan carbon deposits, wind pressure switch damaged
2.Abnormal water circulation: The radiator valve is not opened, the water pump is stuck, and the filter is blocked.
3.Temperature sensor failure: The probe is damaged or the line contact is poor.
4.Abnormal gas pressure: Insufficient air pressure causes insufficient combustion
| Fault type | Specific performance | solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wind pressure failure | Fan makes abnormal noise/not running | Clean impeller or replace fan |
| Overheating protection | Water temperature exceeds 90℃ | Check water pumps and waterway valves |
| Sensor failure | Abnormal temperature display | Replace temperature probe |
3. User self-examination steps
1.basic check: Confirm that the power supply is normal, the gas valve is open, and the water pressure is maintained at 1-1.5Bar.

• Professional in-depth maintenance every 2 years (including heat exchanger descaling)
• Keep the installation environment ventilated and dry
• Avoid frequent temperature adjustments (it is recommended to set a constant value)
5. Maintenance cost reference
| Maintenance items | Material fee | Labor cost |
|---|---|---|
| Replace the air pressure switch | 80-150 yuan | 100 yuan |
| Cleaning fan | 30 yuan | 80 yuan |
| Replace temperature sensor | 60-120 yuan | 100 yuan |
Note: The above prices are based on the official after-sales average prices of each brand in December 2023. Actual costs may vary by region.
