BoilerFaultCodesWhat the manual says
Manufacturer manualNo burner ignition – possible electrode error, defective gas valve or incorrect inlet gas pressure
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control system attempts to light the burner but fails to detect a steady flame after several tries. The most common reasons include a worn-out ignition spark electrode that can no longer create a spark, or a gas valve that isn't opening correctly to allow fuel into the burner.
Engineer required
This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
