Possible Causes

Unstable gas supply pressure, Faulty ionisation electrode or cable, Poor earth connection to boiler, Faulty gas valve modulation coil

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Switch off power and close the gas isolation valve before removing covers. Work on gas components must be done by a licensed technician.

  • Check other gas appliances: Confirm that cookers or other gas boilers run without interruption. If they also cut out, contact your gas supplier.
  • Inspect flue and air intake: Ensure the concentric flue terminal is clear and firmly connected. A partially blocked flue can cause unstable combustion and flame loss.
  • Reset the boiler: Use the reset function and observe whether the boiler runs longer or immediately fails again. Note any unusual noises from the burner.
  • Have earthing checked: A qualified electrician or heating engineer should verify that the boiler has a solid earth connection and that the ionisation current is within Wolf specifications.
  • Technician tasks: A professional will check ionisation electrode position, clean it if sooted, test gas valve modulation, and verify combustion values.
