Possible Causes

Oversized boiler with low load, Excessive return water temperature drop, Faulty flue gas temperature sensor, Condensing occurring in non-condensing heat exchanger

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before accessing sensors. Beware of hot surfaces.

  • Check sensor accuracy: Compare the flue gas temperature reading with a handheld thermometer or flue gas analyzer. Replace the Danstoker flue gas sensor if it is clearly inaccurate.
  • Verify operating conditions: Ensure the boiler is not operating at extremely low load for long periods. Adjust control settings (e.g., enable lead/lag or staging) to avoid short cycling.
  • Check return water temperature: Confirm that the return water temperature is within the recommended range for the specific Danstoker model to avoid condensation in the flue passes.
  • Inspect for condensation damage: Look for signs of moisture, corrosion, or staining in the flue outlet and boiler rear sections. If present, consult Danstoker documentation for permissible operating ranges.

If E08 persists, a heating engineer should review system design and control strategy.
