Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate gas and power. Only licensed gas technicians should work on gas valves.

  • Verify correct valve: Confirm that the installed gas valve matches the Protherm part number and gas type.
  • Inspect wiring: Check all gas valve connectors for correct placement and secure fit.
  • Measure control signal: A technician should verify that the PCB is sending the correct control signal to the valve.
  • Replace gas valve: If the valve does not respond correctly, replace it and perform full combustion setup.
  • Replace PCB if needed: If a known-good valve still triggers F26, replace the main PCB.

Warning: After any gas valve or PCB replacement, perform leak tests and combustion analysis.
