Technical description: Ignition failure

What causes the Remeha E01 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control system attempts to start the combustion process but fails to detect a flame after several attempts. It is usually caused by a lack of gas supply, a worn-out ignition spark electrode that can no longer create a spark, or a faulty gas valve that isn't opening correctly.

While this can happen year-round, it often occurs during the first cold snap of winter when the gas valve may stick after being dormant during the summer months.

Typical repair cost £100-280 (including labour)
