Every brand of boiler will have a series of problems and an error code to show for it. Grant boilers are well known in the industry as being one of the best easily identifiable brands on the market. Understanding your boiler and its error codes is crucial to maintaining your boilers performance level and preparing you for any problems or issues that may occur.
Error codes are system wide notifications that a problem has occurred within the Grant boiler or system. The error code will indicate where the fault lies within the boiler or system and grant will send out an engineer to take a look at it. The engineers at Grant are highly trained and they will identify the fault and resolve it in an efficient manner.
In this article we have listed all the possible error codes for Grant boilers and detailed what the fault is, what you can do yourself and what you need to call an engineer for.
When you get an 'Error Code' from Grants Boiler, you will need to know how to interpret the error code and then you will need to know how to correct the issue. It requires experimentation to find the right combination.
This list of error codes for a Grant boiler is aimed at providing troubleshooting information if you experience problems with your boiler. While it does not mean the problem will be easy to fix, it should give you some idea of where you might need to start looking.

Boiler error codes will normally appear on your boiler's display or a remote programmer device connected to it. In addition to showing the error code, your boiler will usually tell you what it means too - check that you read this information correctly.
This is the list of Grant Boiler Error Codes from Service Manuals. This list might be useful if you are a service engineer, just remember these codes could be slightly different as they are by different boiler models.

The Grant Vortex Blue is a condensing boiler which runs off gas or oil and can be suited for homes of any size. It is known for the reliability of its design and the energy efficiency it incorporated. If you are having problems with your boiler getting stuck in the heating position, we have a list of the Grant Vortex Blue Error Codes that you can use to help you diagnose and repair this issue.
Fault Code | Possible Cause |
---|---|
Red blinking light | Presence of a false flame signal before heat request |
Red blinking light | Presence of false flame signal during pre-purging |
Red blinking light | Presence of false flame signal during post-purging or pre-heating |
Red steady on | UV sensor defective or dirty oil valve defective fault – ignition transformer badly regulated burner, oil fuel not present |
Red blinking light | Badly adjusted burner, oil valve defective or dirty UV sensor defective or dirty |
Red and orange blinking inverted | Error with oil valve internal control circuit that drives the oil valve error |

So here is a list of Grant Vortex Eco Error Codes for your boiler. It can be useful to run through these systematically in order to find out what the problem is and how you might fix it. You may have to hit more than one of these issues before you manage to fix your problem.
Eco Error Codes are messages displayed on the Grant Vortex boiler display. If you get a message on your boiler, it's usually just one of these error codes. The table helps you to diagnose which part of the boiler is probably faulty and what method you should use for resetting it.
Fault Code | Possible Cause |
---|---|
Motor fails to run | No electrical supply to boiler check on/off switch is on – it should be neon lit |
Lock-out light not lit | Fuse has blown – check reason for failure |
Motor fails to run | No power to burner motor |
Burner lock out | Burner motor capacitor fault check and replace if necessary |
This is a list of Grant's Vortex, Eco and Pro boilers error codes. These are the most common error codes or fault codes that your boiler might display. Error codes are fed back from the boiler to control panels (like PC's) so they can be understood as text and displayed to the user.
Fault Code | Possible Cause |
---|---|
No fuel supply | Insure that an adequate supply of fuel is available and that the fuel supply valve is open – check the condition of the fuel filter and clean if necessary, ensure fuel supply is reaching burner and vent pump |
No Electricity Supply | Ensure electricity supply to the boiler is switched on and that all controls are calling for heat – ensure that the overheat thermostat has not tripped, reset if necessary and check the mains supply |
Burner not starting – fuel and electricity supplies present | Reset boiler on the burner control box – if it is lit refer to burner fault finding charts |
Burner lights but goes to lock out | If the flame is unstable check the combustion setting |
Visible smoke from flue or high smoke number | Insufficient air supply. Check the air damper setting and the condition of the fan check room ventilation, check the nozzle size and type, fuel pressure may be too high, check and adjust |
Burner pulses | Insufficient air supply – check the air damper setting and the condition of the fan, check room ventilation |
Flame slow to stabilise during start up | Insufficient air supply – Check the nozzle size and type as fuel pressure may be too low, check and adjust insufficient draught clean boiler heat exchanger and check condition of flue |
Water temperature low | Undersize nozzle and or low fuel pressure check condition of boiler heat exchanger and clean if necessary. Check the boiler thermostat, check the combustion setting, check the condition of the fuel filter |
Boiler operating an overheat thermostat | Faulty boiler thermostat – no circulation, check circulating pump, check for air lock |
Fumes and puffing during starting | Check the condition of the chimney to ensure it is not blocked and is high enough to produce the required draught – check that there is an adequate air supply near the burner fan is not drawing products out of the burner |
Oil odours | Check all fuel line connections and remake as necessary |
Combustion fumes smell | Check boiler cleaning cover and seal are correctly fitted, check burner is correctly fitted onto flange, check flue is correctly sealed into flue outlet of boiler, check the condensate pipe and trap are operating correctly |
The Grant Vortex Pro Combi will make an error code and display the error code icon on the programmer every time there is a fault. The errors that the programmer can potentially detect are displayed by the programmer in different colours so it's easy to tell what the cause of the problem is. This article outlines all of the potential error codes that can be generated by boiler programmer.
Fault Code | Possible Cause |
---|---|
Power supply | Check that fused spur for heating system and boiler is switched on – check that the electricity supply has not failed |
Heating system controls | Check that the timer or programmer is working and set to an on period |
Boiler controls | Check boiler on/off switch is set to on – check that power indicator on and control panel is lit |
Burner | Check the burner lockout reset button is lit, if yes press the reset button to start the burner if burner fails call an engineer |
Heating system | Check the heating system water pressure |
Power | If the boiler is not lit it could be a problem with power supply to the boiler switched off or possibly blown a fuse |
DHW pump | If flashing this indicates either a store thermistor or PCB fault |
Flow | If the boiler is not lit when a hot tap is opened this could mean there is a lack of water flow or possible flow switch problem |
Demand | If not lit this indicates either timer or programmer is not calling for hot water / switch is not set to constant |
Burner | If flashing this indicates a PCB fault |
