How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Combustion adjustments must be done by a gas-qualified technician.

  • 1. Check flue terminal: Ensure the flue outlet is not obstructed and that any terminal guards are correctly fitted.
  • 2. Listen for fan noise: A high-pitched whine may indicate worn fan bearings; replace the fan assembly.
  • 3. Burner inspection: A technician should inspect the burner for damage or misalignment and clean it if necessary.
  • 4. Combustion setup: A Buderus-trained engineer should check and adjust the gas valve and perform a flue gas analysis to ensure correct combustion.
