What it is

The Worcester Bosch code plug 1016 is a small plug-in component that sits within the boiler's control circuit and carries the appliance configuration coding. It is a Worcester Bosch spare supplied under part number 87144310160 and is listed against the Greenstar 542/i and Greenstar 42CDi combi families. Fitting the correct code plug keeps the control board matched to the appliance variant it is installed in.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler fails to fire or repeatedly locks out after a board or plug change.
  • Fault codes appear that point to appliance identification or configuration.
  • The appliance runs erratically, with unexpected behaviour at start-up or during a demand for heat.
  • The existing code plug is damaged, corroded or has loose or bent pins.
  • A replacement control board has been fitted and the appliance needs its original configuration restored.

Before you order

  • Confirm the GC number on the appliance data badge matches one of the models listed above, as the same boiler name can cover LPG and NG variants.
  • Check that the code plug reference 1016 matches the plug being removed.
  • Note the alternative part number 1020427 in case it appears on the old component or your parts list.
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
