How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not repeatedly reset a boiler that continues to fault. Identify and correct the underlying issue first.

  • Review prior errors: Many Crown controls log previous error codes. Note any ignition, flame, or gas-related codes that occurred before E20.
  • Address root cause: Follow the relevant steps for ignition or flame faults (clean flame sensor, check gas supply, inspect burner and venting).
  • Single reset: After correcting obvious issues, perform a single reset according to the manual. If E20 or the original fault returns, shut the boiler down and call a qualified technician.
