Possible Causes

Failed fan motor, Faulty fan speed sensor (Hall sensor), Loose fan connector, Defective main PCB fan driver

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate electrical power and gas. Fan and flue components are part of the sealed combustion circuit and must only be serviced by a competent engineer.

  • Observe start-up: On a heat demand, listen for the fan. If there is no sound at all, the fan may not be receiving power or is failed.
  • Check for error history: Some Main models allow viewing of error history; repeated E10 indicates a persistent fan issue.
  • Engineer actions:
    • Measure voltage at the fan connector during start-up; if present but fan does not run, replace the Main fan assembly.
    • Check the fan speed feedback signal to the PCB; if absent, suspect the fan sensor.
    • Inspect the flue for blockage or incorrect installation that could overload the fan.
    • Test the PCB fan driver circuit and replace the Main control PCB if faulty.
