Ideal Logic System IE fault L0D
Ignition lockout: blocked flue/condensate
Gas boilerWhat it means
Boiler has locked out on ignition failure attributed to blocked flue or condensate system.
Likely causes
- Blocked flue
- Blocked condensate pipe/trap
- Flue components not correctly assembled, fixed or supported
- Flue or flue terminal obstruction
- Displaced seals on flue extensions allowing combustion products and inlet air to mix
- Combustion products and inlet air mixing due to flue integrity fault
- Incorrect gas type or gas supply pressure/rate not verified prior to commissioning
- Flue or flue terminal obstructed
- Seals on flue extensions displaced during installation
- Incorrect gas rate/pressure
- Poor combustion
- Air/gas ratio valve fault
- Flue restriction or leakage
- CO/CO2 ratio greater than 0.004 indicating combustion deposits or fouling
- Debris or deposits in heat engine/sump outlet
- Damaged electrode affecting combustion
- Condensate trap blockage or drying out
- External wall seal dislodged if Mark 1 is not flush with inner wall surface and can be seen prior to the wall surface
- Combustion deposits building up on heat exchanger
- Debris in sump outlet or condensate trap
- Damaged or worn electrode affecting spark gap
- Water or gas joint leakage
Where to start
- Refer to Section 4.3: Ignition Lockout procedure
- Zero the ECGA in fresh air per manufacturer instructions before use
- Set boiler to maximum gas rate and allow combustion to stabilise before inserting probe

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
