The most common Atag E Range problems

The faults most likely to send a Atag E Range into lockout — with plain-English causes, what to check first, estimated repair costs and whether you need a Gas Safe engineer.

This model is discontinued. Parts can be harder to source and expensive. If repair costs are mounting, a new A-rated boiler may be the smarter choice.

The 6 most common faults

01
Block 60 High Engineer

Your boiler’s internal computer has lost its correct settings for how much power it should be using, causing it to stop运行 to prevent damage.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Control PCB, Gas Valve
Full guide for Block 60
02
Block 80 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected that the exhaust gases are becoming dangerously hot and has shut itself down to prevent internal damage.

Est. cost
£150-350
Parts
Heat exchanger, Flue gas temperature sensor, Burner assembly
Full guide for Block 80
03
Block 81 High Engineer

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot detect a safety component that monitors exhaust fumes, which prevents it from firing up.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Flue gas sensor, Wiring harness, PCB
Full guide for Block 81
04
Block 82 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected an electrical fault in its safety monitoring system and has automatically shut down to keep you safe.

Est. cost
£150-250
Parts
Flue gas sensor, Wiring harness
Full guide for Block 82
05
Block 85 High Engineer

Your boiler is struggling to detect the water flowing through it, so it has paused operation to run an automatic air-removal process to clear any trapped bubbles.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Flow sensor, Circulating pump
Full guide for Block 85
06
Error 00 High Engineer

Your boiler is failing to light the internal burner correctly, meaning it cannot produce heat or hot water.

Est. cost
£150-350
Parts
Ignition electrode, Gas valve, Flame rectification probe
Full guide for Error 00

Based on parts cited in our fault code database. Your engineer will confirm what's actually needed after diagnosis.

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Atag shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
