10 ERROR CODES AND FAULT FINDING
10.1 CARRY OUT INITIAL FAULT FINDING CHECKS
In the event of a suspected functional fault with the boiler, carry out initial fault finding checks to establish the
cause.
1.
Check the correct gas, electrical and water supplies are available at the boiler.
2.
Check that any boiler controls fitted are working and in an 'ON' position.
3.
Carry out electrical supply and connection checks and check all fuses.
Where an error code is displayed use the following tables to identify the fault and possible causes.

Fault description
Flame not detected during ignition sequence
Overheat safety thermostat or flue thermal fuse
(113°) has operated. If the thermal fuse has
operated, the cause of its intervention must be
repaired and then it must be replaced.
Flue thermostat intervention (flue temperature
over 108°C)
Gas valve wiring circuit fault detected
Incorrect flow sensor resistance value
Incorrect wiring configuration detected
Chimney sweep function is active. E07 is
displayed on the Climatic remote control only
Maximum number of resets reached (5)
Incorrect cylinder sensor resistance
Fan wiring fault or fan faulty
False flame detection
Flame detected but gas valve is not open
Incorrect return sensor resistance value
Control panel button stuck in the on position
