What does Utica Dunkirk E39 mean?
E39 on the Dunkirk DMG-240 means the shutdown input circuit — connected to the BL terminal on the control board — is in a locked-out state. This input accepts an external safety device such as a low-water cutoff, flow switch, or building management system interlock. When that device opens the BL circuit and the control cannot resolve it, the boiler locks out and displays E39.
Symptoms
- E39 displayed on the DMG-240 control panel — boiler is locked out.
- External safety device wired to the BL terminal has opened or is signaling a fault.
- Boiler does not attempt to fire even after power cycling.
- No heating or hot water output while the external interlock remains open.
Common causes
- External safety device (low-water cutoff, flow switch, BMS interlock) connected to BL terminal has tripped.
- Wiring to the BL terminal is loose, broken, or disconnected.
- Factory-installed jumper on the BL terminal is missing or not seated — trips shutdown input when no external device is used.
- Parameter incorrectly configured for the type of external device connected.

Diagnostic steps
Check the BL terminal wiring
Open the control enclosure and verify the BL connection on the control board terminal strip. If no external device is connected, confirm the factory jumper is securely in place.
Identify and inspect the external accessory
If an external device is connected to the BL input, diagnose that device (low-water cutoff, flow switch, BMS relay, etc.) and correct any fault it is signaling.
Reinstall or reseat the factory jumper
If no external device is intended, check that the factory-installed jumper is fully seated on the BL terminal. A missing jumper leaves the circuit open and triggers E39.
Verify installation parameters
Review the installer parameters related to the BL input configuration. Confirm the parameter setting matches the actual device type connected to the terminal.
Reset the boiler after correcting the fault
After resolving the wiring or external accessory issue, press the reset button and attempt a normal start. Verify E39 does not recur.
When to call a professional
Call a licensed technician if the external device connected to the BL terminal is a low-water cutoff, pressure switch, or BMS relay that continues to signal a fault after basic inspection. Diagnosing and resetting safety interlocks, particularly on commercial installations, requires system-level knowledge and may involve code-required testing before the boiler is returned to service.
