Vokera Synergy fault E050
Smoke obstruction error low power
Gas boilerWhat it means
Smoke/flue obstruction error at low power, transitory alarm.
Likely causes
- Flue/smoke obstruction at low power
- Primary heat exchanger requiring cleaning (related to fault E091)
Where to start
- Insert fumes analysis probe until it reaches the stop
- Press key combination (+ for >2 sec) to enter CO menu showing fan speed in CH
- Set fan speed to MAX value - boiler operates at maximum output

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.
