What causes the Ferroli A02 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal sensor detects an electrical signal mimicking a flame before the heating cycle has actually started. This is usually caused by a carbon-coated or damaged electrode sending a 'false' signal, or moisture and debris on the burner assembly interfering with the detection system.

Typical repair cost £120-£350 (including labour)
