How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and do not operate the boiler if flue gas overheat is suspected. Flue work must be done by a qualified engineer.

  • Check flue terminal: From outside, ensure the flue outlet is clear and not obstructed by objects or vegetation.
  • Ventilation: Ensure any required ventilation openings around the boiler are not blocked.
  • Engineer tasks:
    • Inspect the entire flue system for blockages, incorrect slope, or dislodged joints.
    • Test and replace the flue gas temperature sensor if faulty.
    • Check combustion settings and fan performance.

Do not attempt to dismantle or modify the flue yourself; incorrect installation is hazardous.
