Common Ideal Boiler Fault Codes
Ideal boilers display fault codes on the control panel when an issue is detected, often causing the boiler to enter a safety lockout mode to prevent damage.
Here are some of the most common Ideal boiler fault codes:

One of the most common faults
-
Indicates system pressure is too low
-
Often caused by leaks or recently bled radiators
-
May be resolved by repressurising the system
F2 – Flame Loss
-
Boiler loses flame during operation
-
Possible causes: gas supply issues or ignition faults
-
May reset temporarily but often requires professional repair
L2 – Ignition Lockout

Boiler fails to ignite
-

Requires engineer diagnosis
F3 – Fan Fault

F4 / F5 – Thermistor Faults
-
Problems with temperature sensors (flow or return)
-

-

F7 – Low Mains Voltage
-
Electrical supply issue affecting the boiler
