Ideal Logic System IE fault F02

Flame loss

Gas boiler

What it means

Boiler has detected loss of flame signal during operation.

Likely causes

  1. No/low gas pressure at boiler inlet
  2. Faulty electrode or harness
  3. Faulty spark generator or harness
  4. No 24Vdc supply to gas valve while flame is on
  5. Wiring fault from gas valve to PCB
  6. Faulty PCB
  7. Blocked condensate pipe or flue
  8. Blocked trap or condensate drain pipe work
  9. Faulty gas valve
  10. Low gas pressure at boiler inlet
  11. Blocked flue
  12. Low gas pressure
  13. Blocked condensate/trap
  14. Flue components not correctly assembled, fixed or supported
  15. Flue or flue terminal obstructed
  16. Seals on flue extensions displaced during installation
  17. Combustion products and inlet air mixing due to flue integrity fault
  18. Gas control valve fault requiring replacement
  19. Spark generator fault requiring replacement
  20. Faulty spark generator causing ignition failure
  21. CO/CO2 ratio greater than 0.004 indicates need for cleaning
  22. Debris or deposits in heat engine/sump outlet
  23. Damaged electrode affecting combustion
  24. Condensate trap blockage or drying out
  25. Combustion deposits building up on heat exchanger
  26. Damaged or worn electrode affecting spark gap
  27. Debris in sump outlet or condensate trap
  28. Water or gas joint leakage
  29. Faulty gas control valve requiring replacement

Where to start

  1. Check if boiler ignites for a short time and then extinguishes
  2. Check Gas Pressure available at the Boiler Inlet (>18 mbar)
  3. Check if 24Vdc supply is available at the Gas Valve while the flame is on

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
