SECTION 4 - FAULT FINDING

4.10 ‘F2 OR FN OR LN’ - FLAME LOSS

Does the boiler ignite for a short

time and then extinguish?

YES

Is the Gas Pressure available at

the Boiler Inlet (35 ±0.5 mbar)?

Check if condensate pipe is

blocked. Check if flue is blocked.

Replace as necessary.

Is the top flue manifold seal present

and correctly fitted. ?

Check gas supply and

rectify fault

YES

Is 24Vdc supply available at the

Gas Valve while the flame is on?

YES

Check spark generator and

associated harness for: continuity

and visual condition. (Refer

to Section 3.13) Are these

functioning correctly?

YES

Check ignition electrode and

associated harness for: continuity,

visual condition and position.

(Refer to Section 3.12) Are these

functioning correctly?

YES

Check siphon and condensate

drain pipe work for blockage and

rectify if necessary. Boiler now

working OK?

Check wiring from gas

valve to PCB for continuity.

If the wiring is OK then

replace the PCB

Replace Spark Generator

and Harness as necessary.

Replace Ignition

Electrode and

associated harness as

necessary

Replace Gas Valve

Re-fit correctly or replace

4.11 ‘F3’ - FAN FAULT

Does the wiring from the Fan to the PCB have

secure connections at both ends and has not

deteriorated? Does the wiring have continuity?

YES

Rectify Wiring &

connections

Is there 230Vac at the Blue and Brown connections

to the 3 way connection on the Fan?

Replace PCB

Replace Fan

YES
