Technical description
Flame detection error – line and neutral reversed
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler detects that the electrical supply wires—the Live and Neutral—have been connected to the wrong terminals. It is most commonly caused by recent electrical work in the home or an incorrectly wired plug or fused spur that provides power to the unit. Because the boiler cannot safely monitor the flame with reversed polarity, it will prevent the system from firing as a safety precaution.
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.
