Vokera Pinnacle Combi fault E051
Smoke obstruction error high power
Gas boilerWhat it means
Transitory error indicating smoke/flue obstruction detected during high power operation.
Likely causes
- Flue obstruction
- Incomplete combustion at high power
- Flue components not correctly assembled, fixed or supported
- Flue or flue terminal obstructed
- Leaking seals around appliance burner, internal flue seals, door and case seals
- Inhibitor depletion over time requiring annual concentration check
Where to start
- Check flue for obstruction
- Check combustion analysis
