Technical description: Outside Sensor Fault

What causes the Ideal 4.10 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses the electrical signal from the sensor located on the exterior of your home. The most common reasons are a breakdown in the sensor's internal circuitry due to moisture ingress or damage to the thin communication wires connecting the sensor to the boiler.

This fault is often more frequent during autumn and winter as extreme temperature shifts or high winds can expose pre-existing damage to external wiring or the sensor housing itself.

Typical repair cost £90-180 (including labour)
