Possible Causes

Incorrect electrode gap on Ferroli ignition electrode, Weak ignition transformer, Poor gas/air mixture due to blocked burner or venturi, Low gas inlet pressure to Ferroli gas valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power and gas before accessing the burner compartment. Only qualified personnel should adjust combustion settings.

Steps:

  • Check electrode position: Compare the ignition electrode position and gap to the Ferroli service manual. If visibly misaligned or bent, it should be adjusted or replaced by a technician.
  • Clean burner and venturi: Remove loose dust and debris from the burner and air intake area with a soft brush and vacuum. Do not use compressed air inside the combustion chamber.
  • Check air inlet (for room-sealed models): Ensure the air intake section of the concentric flue is not blocked externally.
  • Reset and test: Restore power and gas, reset the unit, and observe ignition. If ignition remains weak or delayed, further electrical and gas pressure tests are required.

Professional help: A technician should test ignition transformer output, verify gas pressures, and replace the ignition assembly or gas valve if necessary.
