Possible Causes

Unstable gas pressure at Attack gas valve inlet, Blocked or partially blocked burner on Attack heat exchanger, Faulty flame ionization electrode or wiring, Faulty main control PCB flame detection circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Switch off power and close the gas valve before opening the boiler casing. Allow the unit to cool.

Steps:

  • Check gas supply stability: Confirm that other gas appliances run without interruption. If they also cut out, contact your gas supplier.
  • Inspect burner and heat exchanger: Remove the burner cover on the Attack boiler. Look for heavy soot, rust flakes, or debris on the burner surface. Clean gently with a soft brush and vacuum. Do not deform burner ports.
  • Clean flame sensor: Remove the flame ionization electrode and clean the tip with fine abrasive pad. Reinstall ensuring correct immersion into the flame as per Attack service instructions.
  • Check condensate drain: On Attack condensing boilers, a blocked condensate trap can cause poor combustion and flame loss. Remove and flush the condensate trap and check the drain hose for kinks or blockage.
  • Inspect wiring to PCB: Ensure the electrode cable and gas valve connector are firmly attached to the main control PCB and show no signs of burning or corrosion.

Call a professional: If E02 recurs, a technician should measure gas pressure, check combustion with an analyzer, and test the main PCB.
