Buderus GB162 2F 260 — Supply Temperature Sensor Did not Measure Any Heating Water Temperature Increase After a Burner Start
2F 260
Supply temperature sensor did not measure any heating water temperature increase after a burner start. The supply temperature sensor has not measured any heating water temperature increase after a burner start, so there is no heating operation and no DHW, and the fault code may deactivate automatically after a specific time without reset. The table classifies it as Blocking fault code, reset required no, UBA3 LED off.
Applies to
This sensor fault code is displayed by the UBA3 control (display codes and LED flags) on Buderus GB162 models (80–200), as documented in Buderus GB162 Service Instructions, doc 6720614965_05 (6720614965_05). Codes can differ between controller generations, so always check the manual that matches your unit.
Controller: UBA3 control (display codes and LED flags). Source manual: 6720614965_05 (2012-11).
Why a code is not a diagnosis
A sensor code usually means the sensor, its wiring or its mounting is faulty; the physical condition the sensor measures (temperature, pressure, flow) may be perfectly normal.
Safe things to observe
- Note the code; there is no homeowner-accessible check for sensor circuits.
- If the appliance still runs, watch whether the code returns and report it when you call.
Do not
- Do not open the appliance to test or replace sensors yourself.
How professional service helps
- A technician measures the sensor and harness against the manual's values and replaces the faulty component.
- Combustion and safety devices are verified with an analyser and the manufacturer's procedure after any repair.

Frequently asked questions
Can I clear this code myself?
Clearing a code without fixing its cause usually just brings it back. Note the code, check the safe items on this page, then call a licensed technician. If your appliance manual describes a user reset for this exact code and it stays away, no call may be needed.
