What causes the Daikin E1-66 fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer is unable to correctly balance the mix of gas and air required for a stable flame. It often happens if the gas valve is failing to regulate flow accurately or if the sensor that monitors the flame is dirty or worn out. As a result, the system repeatedly tries to recalibrate itself to ensure safe combustion.
