Possible Causes

Blocked or incorrectly fitted flue, Faulty air pressure switch, Blocked venturi, Condensate in pressure tubes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not operate the boiler with suspected flue issues. Isolate power and gas. Flue work must be carried out by a Gas Safe engineer.

  • External flue check: From outside, ensure the flue terminal is clear and correctly supported. Look for signs of staining or leaks around joints.
  • Condensate check: Ensure the condensate trap and pipe are not blocked or frozen, as this can affect combustion and pressure readings.
  • Engineer tasks:
    • Inspect and clear the venturi and pressure tubes.
    • Test the air pressure switch operation under fan pressure.
    • Verify flue length, routing, and terminal position comply with Vokera installation instructions.

Do not attempt to bypass or bridge the air pressure switch; this is a critical safety device.
