What causes the Remeha 0 2. fault?
This fault happens because the boiler has attempted to light three times but failed to establish or detect a steady flame. It is usually caused by a worn-out ignition spark or a problem with the gas supply reaching the burner. Without a confirmed flame, the boiler shuts down as a safety measure to prevent unburned gas from accumulating inside the unit.
This issue is more frequent during the first cold snap of autumn when internal components that have been idle over summer fail to operate correctly upon restart.
DIY fix possible
Check that your gas emergency control valve and any internal gas lever valves are fully open.Verify if other gas appliances in your home, such as a hob, are working to confirm gas supply.If you have a prepayment meter, ensure you have sufficient credit.Press the reset button on the control panel once to see if the boiler restarts.
