Possible Causes

Failed flue gas sensor, Blocked heat exchanger, Restricted flue, Incorrect combustion settings causing high flue temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and gas. High flue temperatures can be dangerous; do not operate the boiler until the cause is identified.

  • Inspect flue gas sensor: Locate the flue gas temperature sensor on the flue outlet of the Crown boiler. Check that it is firmly attached and wiring is intact.
  • Check venting: Inspect the flue for blockages, sagging, or signs of overheating (discoloration, melting). Clear any obstructions.
  • Clean heat exchanger (visual): Look through the burner opening for heavy soot or scale on the heat exchanger surfaces. Excessive buildup requires professional cleaning.
  • Reset: After inspection, restore power and reset the boiler. If E09 recurs, the flue gas sensor or combustion settings must be checked and adjusted by a qualified technician using proper instruments.
