Flame Loss

Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board loses the signal that a flame is present, causing the system to shut down for safety. It is typically caused by a blockage in the condensate drainage pipe, a faulty gas valve, or worn-out ignition components that can no longer detect or sustain a steady flame.

This fault is frequently seen during freezing winter spells, as a frozen external condensate pipe can cause water to back up into the boiler and extinguish the flame.

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.
