18.0 Fault Finding

Check and correct if necessary
1. The mechanical set of the gas valve
(CO2 values - see instruction)
2. Flame sensing electrode and lead connections
3. Flame sensing electrode position

Flame current should be more than 0.5

Replace PCB

YES

Replace flame sensing electrode

Check supply pressure at the

gas valve:-

Minimum 17mbar

Replace safety thermostat

YES

Overheat thermostat operated or

faulty, i.e. continuity across

thermostat terminals

Allow to cool. Continuity

across thermostat terminals

more than 1.5 ohm

Fan connections correct at fan.
PCB - X401 connector terminals 5,6,7 & 8

YES

Replace fan

Temperature sensors faulty.
Cold resistance approximately
10k

@ 25° C (CH sensor)

20k

@ 25° C (Flue sensor)

(resistance reduces with increase in temp.)

Replace sensor

YES

If pump is running the heat exchanger could be
obstructed

Replace heat exchanger
