Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate electrical power. Do not bypass the air pressure switch; it is a critical safety device.

User-level checks:

  • Check that the flue terminal is not obstructed.
  • Reset the boiler and listen for the fan starting before the error appears.

Technical checks (qualified personnel):

  • Verify that the fan receives supply voltage when a heat or hot water demand is present.
  • Check the fan impeller for obstruction or seizure; replace the fan assembly if noisy or not spinning freely.
  • Inspect the silicone tubes to the air pressure switch for splits, blockages, or water; clear or replace as needed.
  • Test the air pressure switch for correct operation with a manometer or continuity tester; replace if it does not change state with fan operation.

Once the faulty component is replaced, reset the boiler and confirm normal ignition sequence.
