What Causes Ideal Boiler Fault Codes?
Ideal boilers can display error codes for many different reasons including:
- Low boiler pressure
- Frozen condensate pipe
- Ignition failures
- Gas valve problems
- Faulty fan assemblies
- Blocked flues
- Faulty temperature sensors
- Worn expansion vessels
- Pump circulation problems
- Printed circuit board (PCB) failures
Simply resetting the boiler may temporarily clear the display, but if the fault returns it normally indicates an underlying problem requiring professional repair.
