How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and gas. Gas valve work should generally be done by a licensed technician.
- Inspect harness: Locate the multi-wire harness between the control board and the modulating gas valve. Ensure connectors are fully seated and wires are not damaged.
- Check for kinks or strain: Make sure the harness is not pulled tight or pinched by the boiler cover.
- Reset control: Restore power and reset the boiler. Observe if the boiler now modulates normally or if Err 15 returns.
- Professional calibration: If the error persists, a technician must verify gas pressures and may need to replace and calibrate the gas valve using manufacturer procedures.
