Ideal Boiler Fault Codes

When your boiler shows a fault code, the first thing to do is write it down. A simple reset can often fix small problems. But if the issue continues or you're unsure, it's a good idea to contact one of our Gas Safe registered engineers for proper diagnosis and repair.

Most Ideal boilers come equipped with a handy reset button right on the front panel. To reset the boiler, just press and hold the button for a few seconds. If the fault code shows up again after resetting, it might indicate a more serious problem that needs professional help. In such situations, feel free to reach out to a qualified engineer for support.

If you encounter several error codes, it might indicate various issues or a communication glitch with the boiler. It's crucial to address this promptly, as many problems may need a professional assessment to prevent additional damage.

Absolutely! Some error codes indicate minor problems, like low pressure, while others, such as flame detection issues, can be more significant. If you're feeling uncertain or detect any unusual smells, sounds, or if there's insufficient heat or hot water, it's wise to turn off your boiler and contact one of our experienced engineers right away.

We suggest having your boiler serviced annually. Routine maintenance allows you to identify issues early, ensures your boiler operates efficiently, and safeguards your manufacturer's warranty. Additionally, it can enhance energy efficiency, which may reduce your heating costs and prolong the life of your boiler.

If your boiler is still under warranty and has been serviced annually, many repairs may be covered at little or no cost. Be sure to check your warranty documents for details, or contact us at Koziwarm. We’re happy to help you understand what’s included and guide you through the next steps.
