Ideal L6: False flame lockout

May need an engineer

What it means

Flame detected when there should be none, often a damp or dirty electrode.

Safe things to try first

  1. Reset once when the boiler is dry.

When to call an engineer

Electrode or PCB replacement.

Never remove the boiler cover or work on gas components yourself. It is illegal unless you are Gas Safe registered, and it will void your warranty.
