Possible Causes

Weak ignition spark, Marginal gas pressure, Loose connection on gas valve or ignition transformer, Early-stage PCB failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Gas and ignition components must be handled by qualified personnel.

  • Observe ignition: Through the inspection window (if fitted), check whether a spark is present during start-up. If no spark, the ignition electrode or transformer may be faulty.
  • Check connectors: With power off, reseat the ignition cable, gas valve connector, and relevant PCB plugs.
  • Gas supply: Confirm that other gas appliances work correctly. If gas supply is marginal, contact the gas supplier.
  • If the issue is intermittent and no code appears, a Hoval technician should test ignition voltage, gas valve operation, and PCB outputs.
