Ideal Logic System IE fault F0U

Flow/return differential greater than 50°C

Gas boiler

What it means

Boiler has detected a flow/return temperature differential exceeding 50°C.

Likely causes

  1. Flow/Return differential fault as referenced in Section 4.14
  2. Isolation valves closed
  3. Pump not operating
  4. Radiator valves closed
  5. System blockages
  6. Pump not operating (wiring fault or pump failure)
  7. System blockage restricting flow

Where to start

  1. Refer to Section 4.14: Flow/Return Differential greater than 50°C
  2. Check if isolation valves are open
  3. Check if pump is operating

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.
