Ideal Logic System IE fault LN
Flame loss
Gas boilerWhat it means
Boiler has detected loss of flame during operation.
Likely causes
- Insufficient gas pressure at boiler inlet
- No 24Vdc supply at gas valve while flame is on
- Faulty spark generator or harness
- Faulty ignition electrode or harness
- Faulty detection electrode or harness
- Blocked condensate pipe
- Blocked flue
- Flame loss during operation
Where to start
- Does the boiler ignite for a short time and then extinguish? If NO, check gas pressure at boiler inlet (18 mbar). If NO, check gas supply and rectify fault.
- If gas pressure YES, is 24Vdc supply available at the Gas Valve while the flame is on? If NO, check wiring from gas valve to PCB for continuity; if OK, replace the PCB.
- If 24Vdc YES, check spark generator and associated harness for continuity and visual condition. If NOT functioning correctly, replace Spark Generator and Harness.

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.
