Nefit Boiler Error Code 0Y 276

DIY checks firstReviewed November 2026Checked against manufacturer documentation
What this code means
0Y 276: The flow temperature sensor has measured a temperature above 95 °C

Code 0Y 276 means the heating water at the flow has become hotter than 95 °C. The boiler shuts down to prevent overheating. Air in the system, low water pressure or a poorly running pump are the most common causes. Topping up, bleeding and resetting often helps; if the code keeps coming back, an installer must check the pump and the flow.

Also shown as: 0Y

Applies to: Nefit ProLine and TrendLine condensing boilers

Time to run the checks
About 20–40 minutes

No special tools
The checks below use basic household items only.
Parts that may be involved
Circulation pump, Flow temperature sensor
Parts are model-specific; see the note below before ordering.

Common causes

  1. Air in the heating system, so the heat is not carried away properly
  2. Water pressure too low or too little flow because radiator valves are closed
  3. Circulation pump not running or not running properly

What to check, in order

Safety first. A boiler works with gas, electricity and hot water under pressure. Never open the casing or touch anything inside it. In the Netherlands, work on a gas boiler may only be done by a certified company (CO-vrij). The checks on this page stay on the outside: water pressure, thermostat, radiators and the reset button. If you smell gas, leave the building and call the national gas emergency number 0800-9009 (Netherlands).
  1. Check the water pressure on the display or pressure gauge and top up to 1.5 to 2 bar if needed.
  2. Open all radiator valves and bleed the radiators and the boiler.
  3. Press the reset button once and see whether the code stays away.
  4. If the code returns, call a CO-certified installer; the pump and the sensor need to be checked.

Clear the code and test

  1. Fix what the checks above found first — pressure topped up, a radiator bled, the thermostat set right. Resetting without fixing the cause only brings the code back.
  2. Make sure the boiler has power and the gas tap at the boiler is open.
  3. If the water pressure is below 1.5 bar, top it up to between 1.5 and 2 bar with the filling loop, as your manual shows.
  4. Press the reset button once and watch a full cycle: the boiler should start, heat the radiators or the tap water, and keep running without the code coming back.

When to call a professional

Most cases are solved by the checks above. Book a technician if any of these apply:

  • The code comes back after you have run the checks and a test cycle.
  • You smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, or the breaker trips.
  • Water is leaking and you cannot stop it.
  • The fix needs panels opened beyond what your manual describes, or a part tested with a meter, and you are not set up for that.

When you call, give the brand, the code 0Y 276, your model number (on a label on the type plate, usually at the bottom or on the side of the boiler) and the checks you already ran. It shortens the visit.

Parts are model-specific. Find your model number first — usually on a label on the type plate, usually at the bottom or on the side of the boiler — and match the part to that number before ordering.

Questions people ask about 0Y 276

What does 0Y 276 mean on a Nefit boiler?

0Y 276 means: The flow temperature sensor has measured a temperature above 95 °C. Code 0Y 276 means the heating water at the flow has become hotter than 95 °C. The boiler shuts down to prevent overheating. Air in the system, low water pressure or a poorly running pump are the most common causes. Topping up, bleeding and resetting often helps; if the code keeps coming back, an installer must check the pump and the flow.

Can I fix Nefit 0Y 276 myself?

Start yourself: the checks on this page cover the causes you can reach without opening the machine up. If they point to a faulty part, testing or replacing it is usually a technician job.

How do I clear Nefit 0Y 276?

Fix what the checks above found first — pressure topped up, a radiator bled, the thermostat set right. Resetting without fixing the cause only brings the code back. Make sure the boiler has power and the gas tap at the boiler is open. If the water pressure is below 1.5 bar, top it up to between 1.5 and 2 bar with the filling loop, as your manual shows.
