Points for Boiler User

Note. In line with our current warranty policy we would ask that you check through the following guide to identify any problems external to the boiler prior to requesting a service engineers visit. Should the problem be found to be other than with the appliance we reserve the right to levy a charge for the visit, or for any pre ---arranged visit where access is not gained by the engineer.

Troubleshooting --- Typical Non Product Faults

Problem

Solution

 

 

 

F Is there power to the boiler i.e. is the left hand side green LED (A) alight and

 

flashing every 4 seconds. If not this is not a boiler fault --- contact the installer

 

F Check pressure gauge on boiler shows a minimum of 1 bar.

 

If not re---pressurise via the filling loop to 1 bar (if unsure contact your installer), turn

Boiler is not working for central heating

off the tap on the filling loop and press the reset button (D) to reset the boiler. If

or hot water

unable to do so or if the pressure continues to drop after filling then contact your

 

installer

 

F Is the lockout signal lamp (E) alight --- Press boiler reset button (D) --- If boiler still

 

does not fire contact the installer

 

 

Boiler goes through ignition sequence but

F Check gas supply (try another gas appliance cooker/fire etc) If no gas supply

will not fire for either central heating or hot

water and then goes to ignition lockout

then this is not a boiler fault --- Contact the gas supplier

 

 

 

Fan & pump run continuosly but there is no

F Check that the air pressure switch test caps, on top of the boiler, are fitted

attempt at ignition

correctly.

 

 

 

F Check that integral programmer is set to an “on” period and the function switch

 

is set to “auto”--- If it still does not operate contact your installer

 

F If fitted with an external programmer check that the central heating channel is set

Operating for hot water but will not operate

at an “on” period --- If it still does not operate contact your installer

for central heating

F Check the room thermostat is set at the required temperature --- Test the room

 

thermostat by turning fully up --- If this does not respond contact your installer

 

F Check the radiator temperature control (C) is set at the winter setting for central

 

heating

 

 

The nature of all combination boilers is to heat up water directly from the incoming mains water supply directly through the boiler to supply domestic hot water at the stated flow rates, (as shown in the boiler installation instructions), to achieve a 35ûC temperature rise. As the ambient temperature of the cold main varies during the summer and winter months it is likely in the colder winter months that the flow rate will need to be reduced at the outlet taps to achieve the same temperatures achieved in the warmer summer months.

This is not a fault with the appliance but is relevant to the varying temperature of the incoming cold mains water supply.
