Initial Fault Finding Checks
1. Check that gas, water and electrical supplies
are available at the boiler.
2. Electrical supply = 230V ~ 50 Hz.
3. CH water system pressurised to 0.5 bar
minimum when the boiler is cold.
4. The preferred minimum gas pressure is 20
mbar.
5. Carry out electrical system checks, i.e. Earth
Continuity, Resistance to Earth, Short Circuit and
Polarity with a suitable meter.
NOTE: These checks must be repeated after
any servicing or fault finding.
6. Ensure all external controls are calling for heat
and check all external and internal fuses. Before
any servicing or replacement of parts, ensure the
gas and electrical supplies are isolated.
Error Codes
1. If a fault occurs on the boiler an error code may
be shown by the facia display.
2. The codes are either two or three digit,
preceded by the letter 'E'. For example, code
E133 will be displayed by 'E1' alternating with '33'.
E50 is shown as 'E' then '50'
E20, E28 & E50 indicate faulty components or
wiring harness.
E110 shows overheat of the primary water and
E130 overheat of the flue system.
E119 is displayed when the primary water
pressure is less than 0.5 bar.
E133 indicates that the gas supply has been
interrupted, ignition has failed or the flame has
not been detected.
E125 is displayed in either of two situations:-
i) If within 15 seconds of the burner lighting the
boiler temperature has not changed by 1°.
ii) If within 10 minutes of the burner lighting the
boiler temperature twice exceeds the selected
temperature by 30°.
In these instances the pump is probably
inoperative.
3. By turning the selector switch to the 'Reset'
position for a minimum of 5 seconds when E110,
E130 & E133 are displayed it is possible to relight
the boiler.
4. If this does not have any effect, or the codes
are displayed regularly further investigation is
required.
