All Gas & Oil Boilers Error Codes

Saunier DuvalCritical
F28

Gas Ignition Failure

Applies to: Saunier Duval ThemaPlus / ThemaClassic / IsoMax

Burner ignition failure or loss of flame ionization signal during startup. The boiler enters safety lockout to prevent unburned gas accumulation.

Elm LeblancCritical
EA

Flame Not Detected

Applies to: Elm Leblanc Acleis / Megalis Condens

Flame not detected during burner operation or lack of ionization current following the ignition sequence.

ChaffoteauxCritical
Error 501

Flame Absence Fault

Applies to: Chaffoteaux Mira C / Urbia / Talia Green

Absence of flame detected. Boiler locks out after 3 consecutive failed ignition attempts to prevent gas buildup.

VaillantCritical
F22

Low Water Pressure Lockout

Applies to: Vaillant ecoTEC plus / ecoTEC pro

Boiler dry-fire protection safety trip. Water pressure in the central heating circuit has fallen below 0.6 bar, disabling burner operation to prevent heat exchanger damage.

Worcester BoschCritical
EA

Flame Detection Lockout

Applies to: Worcester Bosch Greenstar i / CDi Classic

Flame sensing failure. The control board attempted 4 ignition trials without sensing a stable flame ionization microamp signal, initiating safety lockout.

BaxiCritical
E119

Water Pressure Switch Open

Applies to: Baxi 600 / 800 / Duo-tec Combi

The hydraulic pressure sensor microswitch contacts have opened due to central heating system pressure dropping below 0.5 bar.

Field Service Recommendations for Gas & Oil Boilers

Prior to performing any diagnostic testing or taking electrical measurements on residential or commercial equipment, always lock out / tag out (LOTO) power sources and shut off fuel or water supplies. Wear rated personal protective equipment (insulated gloves, eye protection) and use a calibrated CAT III/CAT IV digital multimeter.

If fault symptoms persist after executing our pinout checks and component resistance tests, consult a factory-certified technician or licensed HVAC/appliance specialist.
