    We consider the weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process in the presence of a slow bond and starting from the invariant state, namely the Bernoulli product measure of parameter ρ(0,1)\rho\in(0,1). The rate of passage of particles to the right (resp. left) is 1nβ2+a2nβγ\frac1{\vphantom{n^\beta}2}+\frac{a}{2n^{\vphantom{\beta}\gamma}} (resp. 1nβ2a2nβγ\frac1{\vphantom{n^\beta}2}-\frac{a}{2n^{\vphantom{\beta}\gamma}}) except at the bond of vertices {1,0}\{-1,0\} where the rate to the right (resp. left) is given by α2nβ+a2nβγ\frac{\alpha}{2n^\beta}+\frac{a}{2n^{\vphantom{\beta}\gamma}} (resp. α2nβa2nβγ\frac{\alpha}{2n^\beta}-\frac{a}{2n^{\vphantom{\beta}\gamma}}). Above, α>0\alpha>0, γβ0\gamma\geq \beta\geq 0, a0a\geq 0. For β<1\beta<1, we show that the limit density fluctuation field is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process defined on the Schwartz space if γ>12\gamma>\frac12, while for γ=12\gamma = \frac12 it is an energy solution of the stochastic Burgers equation. For γβ=1\gamma\geq\beta=1, it is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process associated to the heat equation with Robin's boundary conditions. For γβ>1\gamma\geq\beta> 1, the limit density fluctuation field is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process associated to the heat equation with Neumann's boundary conditions
