SECTION 4 - FAULT FINDING

4.4  ‘L6’ - FALSE FLAME LOCKOUT 

4.5  ‘F1’ - LOW WATER PRESSURE

4.6  ‘F2 OR FN OR LN’ - FLAME LOSS

Does the boiler ignite for a short 

time and then extinguish?

YES

YES

Is the Gas Pressure available at 

the Boiler Inlet (18 mbar)?

Check the detection electrode and 

associated harness for: continuity, 

visual condition and position 

(Refer to Section 3.14). Check if 

condensate pipe is blocked.  Check 

if flue is blocked.  

Replace as necessary.

Is the top flue manifold seal present 

and correctly fitted. ? 

NO

NO

Check gas supply and 

rectify fault

NO

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 3.15) Are these 

functioning correctly?

YES

Check ignition electrode and 

associated harness for: continuity, 

visual condition and position.  

(Refer to Section 3.13) 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

NO

Replace Spark Generator 

and Harness as necessary.

NO

Replace Ignition 

Electrode and 

associated harness as 

necessary

NO

Replace Gas Valve

Re-fit correctly or replace

NO

Restart the boiler, does Boiler Work OK?

NO

Check routing and integrity of internal boiler wiring is OK.  Check 

condition of Flame Sense Electrode and replace if deteriorated.

Separate the flame detection electrode in-line connector.  Is there 

continuity between the terminal pins connected to the electrode?

YES

Replace Flame Detection Electrode

Check routing and integrity of internal boiler wiring

YES

NO

RESTART PROCEDURE

 - To restart boiler, press and release RH push button.

Are the Boiler and CH System filled with water and all isolation and 

radiator valves open (check pressure gauge is between 1 to 1.5 bar)?

NO

NO

YES

Fill and vent the system and open all 

isolation valves

YES

Are connections on water pressure sensor secure?

Re-fit connections

Replace water pressure switch
