Immergas Victrix fault 03
Flue safety thermostat block
Gas boilerWhat it means
During normal operation, if a fault causes excessive flue gas overheating, the boiler blocks.
Likely causes
- Fault causing excessive flue gas overheating
- Boiler lockout condition triggered (specific cause not detailed in this section)
- Obstructed intake grids or exhaust terminals
- Poor terminal placement causing recirculation
- Obstructed or poorly positioned intake/exhaust terminals causing recirculation of flue gases into intake air
- Poor flue termination positioning causing recirculation
- Combustion air contaminated with chlorine, sulphur or powders
- Chemical substances stored in the installation area
- Installation in beauty salons, paint workshops, carpenter's shops, cleaning companies without a separated combustion air supply
- Combustion air fed through chimneys previously used with liquid or solid fuel boilers causing soot accumulation
- Drain trap not yet filled with condensate on first start-up
- Sprays, solvents, chlorine-based detergents, paints, glue, ammonium compounds, powders in combustion air supply
- Poor terminal positioning causing recirculation
Where to start
- Activate flue test (Par. 3.15)
- Detect the flue signal ΔP (Ref. 13 and 14, Fig. 38)
- Compare measured ΔP to the thresholds for the model to determine correct S1 value

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.
