Bosch Error Code

Bosch Code F2 — Condensate Pressure Switch

Code F2 is condensate drain blocked / pressure switch fault. Only on condensing models.

Updated May 2026 · Bosch Water Heaters

Code F2 = Condensate pressure switch / drain blocked. Only on condensing Greentherm and Greenstar models. The unit detected backup pressure in the condensate system.

Diagnostic sequence

1. Condensate pump (if installed)

Check that the pump is cycling. Silent = pump failure. Replace ($50-100).

2. Drain line freeze

Winter freezing in unconditioned spaces. Insulate and add heat trace.

3. Drain line sediment

Mineral buildup over years. Clear or replace line.

4. Trap blockage

The trap itself accumulates sediment. Remove, inspect, clear.

5. Neutralizer media exhausted

If you have a neutralizer, the calcium carbonate is consumed over 1-2 years.

Bottom line

F2 is purely mechanical. Find the blockage and clear it.
