How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Do not repeatedly reset a boiler that locks out; identify the underlying cause.
- 1. Record patterns: Note when lockouts occur (DHW vs heating, weather conditions, time of day) and any codes shown.
- 2. Check connections: With power off, inspect all plug-in connectors on the Buderus control board, sensors, and gas valve. Reseat them firmly.
- 3. Vibration and strain relief: Ensure cables are not under tension and that strain reliefs are correctly fitted.
- 4. Gas supply: A gas technician should check for pressure drops or supply interruptions.
- 5. Component testing: A technician may need to test sensors, fan, pump, and control board under operating conditions to identify intermittent faults.
