We're sure you're not a fan of unexpected expenses. And you probably don’t want to replace a completely new boiler because of a problem that was not resolved in time. Meanwhile, problems appear even in devices that work for the first day. In the article we wrote about errors in Kiturami gas boilers and their codes. Read it. Even if you do not have heating equipment of this brand, it is better to learn more about it - you will understand whether it is worth buying it in the future.
You will learn to recognize errors in Kiturami boilers. Find out what causes them, in addition to the main reasons. For convenience, we have presented their codes in ascending order. Immediately after them, other failures and problems that do not have codes were indicated. Read the article and you will know what to do if a malfunction occurs.
Boiler errors are determined through codes. They differ among manufacturers. On Kiturami devices, combinations of numbers from 01 to 98 pop up. The decodings are the same for all boilers of this brand that run on gas. They can differ only because of the names of individual modules.
The coolant level is below the established norm
- Low coolant pressure in the system: if the boiler pressure gauge needle leaves the green sector and turns to red), it is necessary to increase the pressure to the minimum threshold of 1 Bar
The make-up valve is located at the bottom of the heating installation, next to the connection pipe for the cold water pipe.
It opens counterclockwise until the characteristic noise of the incoming liquid appears; do not forget to close the tap in the reverse order, otherwise the pressure will creep into the reverse red zone and the relief valve will begin to operate (water will flow).
Air in the system: an accumulation of bubbles moving through the pipes along with the coolant reduces the flow rate, causing the pump to malfunction.
It is necessary to bleed the air from the system, you should not rely entirely on the air vent in the boiler pump, over time it wears out and is no longer as effective at venting air, in such a case it is good to have an additional air vent at the highest point of the system (2nd floor) which is additionally mounted on the battery instead of the Mayevsky tap, if there is no such thing, then you can manually bleed the air through the Mayevsky taps (until water appears).
- Inspect pipes, connections, and components for leaks . If damage is found, seal it;
A leak in the heating system is often not noticeable to the eye, but it steadily lowers the pressure; we look for the location of the leak.
- The coolant filter is dirty - clean the coolant filter: it’s as simple as disassembling it and cleaning it.
Checking the expansion tank: the working cavity of the tank is divided into 2 compartments, one is filled with nitrogen or air under pressure within 0.8–1.2 bar. Non-compliance with this value affects the correct operation of the system, resulting in an error being displayed. If the air pressure in the tank compartment is low, bring it to normal using a car pump. If, when pumping, you realize that air is escaping into the system (the pressure does not increase, the batteries begin to crack), then the tank needs to be replaced.
Recommended replacement parts
- Filters
- Tube/Nipple
- Bucky
- Heat exchangers
Problems with the exhaust gases / chimney system
Possible causes of the problem
Problems in the boiler electrical network : reboot the boiler (turn the button on the thermostat on and off).
It is strictly recommended to connect heating boilers through a stabilizer (for the boiler) or a UPS; this will save you from unnecessary costs for replacing the control board.
If the error occurs during strong winds, it is necessary to protect the chimney from blowing out (the impeller changes speed and the cold sensor registers the speed error).
We put up a head or an umbrella and the wind stops blowing.
If the impeller is clogged, you can clean it with a toothbrush and a vacuum cleaner; it is also a good idea to disassemble and lubricate the bearing.
The fan board has burned out or is not working correctly (there is a sensor on the back that reads the impeller speed).
Any diagnostics and repair of the boiler must be carried out by a certified specialist with a valid certificate issued by Rostekhnadzor.

Gas boilers Kiturami
Kiturami has been making boilers since 1962 and produces up to 9,000 units daily. Kiturami produces devices that run on gas, diesel fuel, and solid pellets. Gas boilers are manufactured for fuel in accordance with GOST 5542-2014.
Most products from the South Korean manufacturer have a dual-circuit structure, a closed combustion chamber and are fully automated. The efficiency of the devices reaches 94%.
The Kiturami company uses low-carbon technologies, equips its boilers with a large number of fuses and sensors, and makes compact and advanced internal structures
Popular models of Kiturami gas boilers:
- World Plus;
- Eco Condensing;
- TGB;
- KSG;
- World Alpha;
- Twin Alpha;
- World 3000;
- World 5000.
The power of Kiturami boilers reaches 465 kW, and for wall-mounted models it ranges from 13-35 kW. Their turbocyclone burners operate at low pressure - about 30 mm of air column. Each type of fuel has its own burner models that can operate on the same boiler.
Kiturami appliances have protection against freezing and blowing out the chimney. Heat exchangers in World Plus devices maintain their quality even after long-term use of “hard” water.
Kiturami gas boilers last up to 15 years or more, much depends on the conditions of use. Devices display errors with simple numbering - from 01 or from Er 01. Read about them to quickly fix problems and keep the device in working order.
Error codes 01 – 08
Errors 01 to 03 indicate that the control system does not see the flame or has blocked ignition - before or after starting.
Errors 01, 02 and 03 often appear due to a closed valve - open it and restart the device, at the same time check the air supply to the boiler
Code 01 - no flame. Perform the actions from the list, and if nothing changes, move on to the following points:
- Open the gas supply valve to maximum.
- Bleed air from the heating system.
- Inspect the grounding. The wire may have lost its integrity, or it may have been routed incorrectly. Re-ground to a depth of 30 cm or more.
- Compare the gas pressure in the boiler with the indicator in the instructions. If there is a discrepancy, call the gas workers.
- Check the integrity of the ignition wire and its power source.
- Remove soot and dirt from the boiler burner.
- Also clean the ignition and control electrodes. Soot and deposits collect on them. Reposition the electrodes according to the instructions if the inclination has changed. Check if they work at all.
- Check that the gas valve and photocell of the flame detection system are working properly. Replace elements with new ones if necessary.
- Check the circuit board, connections and wires that go to it. Replace if necessary.
Code 02 - false flame or its defect. Check and, if necessary, replace the photocell of the flame control system. Replace the board if it is broken beyond repair.
Check it for oxidation, open circuit, short circuit. The burner nozzles could cause the electrodes to become dirty. Clean them and put them in the correct position.
Code 03 - the flame appears and disappears for a short time. Check the flame sensor and replace the faulty device. Check the pressure on the pressure gauge. Contact your gas service if the reading is outside the normal range.

The problem may be ventilation. Open windows and doors, inspect the built-in ventilation ducts of the room. The error remains - check the external condition of the boiler fan and determine the resistance with a multimeter. The device could break. Also look into the chimney and remove any dirt.
Code 04 - the temperature sensor of the heating element is not working correctly. Inspect the wires that go to the sensor. Connect the broken wires and clean the oxidized contacts. Check the sensor for an open or short circuit. Inspect the control board. If something happens, contact a service that professionally repairs Kiturami brand gas boilers - they are repaired in many service centers in Russian cities. Replace these components if necessary.
Code 05 - overheating sensor failure. Ring the seismic sensor if your boiler has one. Replace if necessary, but do not remove. Also inspect the overheat indicator itself. Determine the pressure in the system and add water if the reading drops. Take a look at the heat exchanger. If there is excess scale, clean the unit.
Code 06 - fan failure - fan speed cannot be determined.
Fan for Kiturami gas boiler: the device supplies air to the combustion chamber, removes flue gases and other combustion products
To fix the error you will need to take seven steps:
- Inspect the wires that go to the fan. Clean if oxidized. Restore broken contacts.
- Assess the condition of the fan blades. If there is noticeable wear and tear, purchase a new device.
- If the differential relay connections are stuck (including after they have come loose), replace the unit.
- Make sure that the mains voltage matches the required value. If not, install a transformer and an uninterruptible power supply.
- Clear the chimney of anything foreign.
- Inspect the fan rotating mechanism.
- Check the Hall sensor.
Replace any unusable parts.
Code 07 - problems with the chimney. The likely cause is the fan/blower speed being higher or lower than normal. Inspect the unit, remove foreign objects. At the same time, clean the chimney of dirt and condensation.
The error appears due to gusts of wind. If the problem occurs frequently, you will have to change the pipe pattern. You need to design taking into account the wind rose.
Many Kiturami boiler models come with CTR remote thermostats, which make it easier to regulate the room temperature and allow you to set the operating time
Code 08 - problem with the room temperature controller. The error appears when communication with the boiler control unit is disrupted. Code 08 will also appear if the length of the regulator wire exceeds 10 meters. Thermostat cables are sometimes exposed to telephone and high-voltage wires.
First of all, turn off the regulator and check the operation of the boiler. If everything is fine, first try to find a different location for the thermostat and turn it on again. Re-route the temperature sensor cable correctly if nothing has changed. Avoid placement in pipes under the floor.
Error codes 14 – 98
Let's start with similar errors - 14 and 34.
Code 14 - malfunction of the hot water outlet temperature meter. Look for a problem in the sensor itself and its wire.
Code 34 is an error of the same type regarding the hot water supply inlet temperature sensor.
After the DHW (hot water supply) sensor fails, the boiler will continue to heat the home, and regulating and maintaining the temperature of running water becomes impossible
Code 95 - indicates low pressure in the boiler/heating system, i.e. due to a lack of coolant (usually water).
Proceed like this:
- Check to see if there is water in the boiler and what pressure is in the heating circuit.
- Check and clean filters if necessary.
- Look for leaks in heating pipes and radiators. Then, eliminate leaks in the expansion tank and heat exchanger.
- Take a look at the expansion tank membrane. Replace if stretched or becomes too dirty.
- Add water to normal pressure.
- Inspect and repair the air valve on the pipe through which coolant enters the heating system.
Code 96 - the temperature indicator has activated. The temperature rose above the permissible 92...97 °C. The boiler will operate in emergency mode until the temperature drops. When the error disappears, restart your device.
Eliminate the cause of the temperature jump:
- Clean the heat exchanger from scale.
- Check and replace the circulation pump if necessary.
- Ring the thermostat. Buy a new one if repair is not possible.
- Do the same with the board.
Code 97 - possible gas leak. There could be a leak of natural gas near the burner. Stop the gas supply to the boiler and turn it off. Call the gas emergency service. Error 97 may also appear because air has accumulated in the system.
Technologies used in Kiturami boilers to ensure tightness: protection against water hammer and flue gas penetration in the upper part of the heat exchanger
Code 98 appears on liquid fuel appliances. Indicates insufficient energy level in the fuel tank.
Basic error codes for pellet boilers
03
Error 03 in a pellet boiler means that the engine through which pellets enter the boiler has turned off.
What should you do in this case:
- check for a wire break;
- measure the sensor for open and short circuit;
- Check the serviceability of the engine itself; if it is not working, replace it.
07
Error 07 appears when the fan operates at too high or too low speed.
To determine, check:
- It is possible that foreign objects have gotten into the fan housing, remove them;
Kiturami boiler fan - there is a strong wind outside;
- The fan is faulty, check the rotor for short circuits and open circuits; if a discrepancy is found, replace the fan.
97
Error 97 appears when the pellet filling level is low. It is necessary to fill the pellets to the level of the bottom of the holes in the burner plate.
Probable errors and causes of occurrence
This article contains all possible malfunctions and options for eliminating them, as well as error codes for Kiturami boilers. All information is read in the following order: code - name - possible malfunction. If you have any additional questions, please leave them in the comments to this article.
Error code 01, 02, 03 - No ignition
- It is possible that gas is not entering the burner due to the shut-off valve being closed. It is necessary to open it, then restart the unit. The gas filter needs to be checked. If it is so contaminated that gas does not pass through, you must call a specialist from the nearest service center.
- The device lights up, but after that it stops due to an accident. It is necessary to make sure that the blinds and other openings that provide air access to it are not blocked.
- It is important to ensure that combustion products are successfully discharged into the chimney. Remove all detected obstacles. After this, you need to restart the unit. If the problem cannot be resolved on your own, it is recommended to contact your nearest service center.
Error code 04 - Temperature sensor signal error

At the same time, the LED on the control unit lights up, which is responsible for the temperature of the water in the boiler.
- The coolant is not heating correctly.
- Air has formed in the heating system.
The boiler takes longer than usual to reach the required temperature
When the burner is running, the unit reaches the required temperature in a significantly longer period of time than usual
- The gas pressure in the system is too low.
- The gas filter is too dirty.
When the burner is turned on, a vibrating sound is heard. When the boiler goes into constant operation, the sound stops. The chimney is incorrectly designed, combustion products are not discharged correctly. After some time of using the device, its performance changed for the worse. This is observed both in heating mode and in DHW mode. It is necessary to clean the heat exchanger, as it is coated inside with plaque.
Design and principle of operation of Kiturami boilers
The Korean brand "Kiturami" produces powerful heating equipment. The devices can compete with other famous brands. The model range is represented by mounted and floor-mounted units.
Wall-mounted boilers are attractive due to their compact size. They can be placed in any non-residential premises: kitchen, corridor. Floor-standing options require a separate room (boiler room). But you can count on high performance.
High power - from 13 to 470 kW - allows Kiturami equipment to heat residential and industrial premises.
Models differ in the type of combustion chamber. The closed type is connected to a coaxial pipe, which is led outside through a hole in the wall. The turbocharged burner takes air from the street, and the built-in fan forcibly removes the smoke outside.
The open chamber is connected to a stationary chimney. The flame in the burner is maintained by drawing air from the room.
Based on the number of circuits, Kiturami offers single- and double-circuit models. Devices with one circuit work exclusively to heat the coolant for heating. Double-circuit ones provide hot water supply (DHW) and heating.

Features of Kiturami boilers
Kiturami is a South Korean company with more than half a century of experience in the development and production of heating boilers and related equipment.
During this time, the company became one of the leaders in the domestic Korean market, and also found a large sales market in North America and nearby Asian countries. In our country, Kiturami boilers have been officially distributed for at least ten years and have already managed to show their good side.
The main emphasis in promoting boilers is on the introduction of innovative technologies and, in particular, our own developments, which have no analogues from other manufacturers or determine the narrow specificity of the equipment’s operation.
Diesel boilers, by definition, are not considered as the main model range for a wide range of applications. In terms of economic feasibility, they are inferior to gas, electric and even solid-state boilers. However, they are still in demand among consumers due to a number of reasons why liquid fuel is becoming preferable.
In remote areas of residence, where there is no stable connection to power grids and no gas supply, the issue of fuel availability becomes acute. At the same time, the heating of the house must, by definition, work uninterruptedly throughout the entire season. If for many countries such situations are rather the exception to the rule, then for us, on the contrary, they are commonplace, the reason for which is the vast expanses that separate populated areas.
Diesel fuel, unlike gas, is easier to transport and easier to store with minimal risks to life and the environment. Unlike solid fuel boilers, diesel fuel, when burned, provides uniform heating and a greater degree of control over resource consumption. And finally, the design of a diesel boiler and, in particular, the burner does not limit the use of other heat sources.
With minimal changes, a diesel burner can be replaced to use blue fuel, and boilers equipped with an extensive combustion chamber and grate can quickly switch to using coal, wood or pellets.
Kiturami diesel boilers are highly technologically advanced and are ideally balanced equipment for using diesel fuel as a heat source, and at the same time they are excellent for the listed types of conversion to operate on gas or solid fuel. So constructive and functional flexibility is the first significant advantage.
Kiturami boilers often use their own developments and a unique layout. On the one hand, this reduces the maintainability of heating equipment, but on the other hand, it ensures the highest boiler efficiency and balanced operation while observing simple and transparent operating rules. This is the second good reason to turn our attention to diesel boilers from South Korea.
The last advantage is the cost of boiler equipment. Even taking into account the high performance and proven quality of the boilers, their cost does not exceed the market average among similar offers.
So it turns out that Kiturami boilers have three features: a balanced design, high efficiency and an affordable price.

Specifications
The operational characteristics, dimensions and parameters of Turbo series boilers are presented in the table below. It is clearly seen that the series of floor-standing diesel boilers covers a power range from 10 to 35 kW, which is quite enough to heat houses up to 250-275 square meters. Part of the heat will be used to prepare hot water, which must be taken into account in the calculations.
All Kuturami double-circuit boilers and heat exchangers, by the way, are ideally designed specifically for these tasks.

Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption is indicated in the table with technical requirements. However, please remember that actual consumption depends on individual settings. Based on the actual power required to heat the house, an appropriate nozzle is selected from the set offered by the manufacturer.
Thermal power, fuel consumption and fuel combustion mode are set. The parameter indicated in the table displays factory presets sufficient to ensure proper performance provided that only high-quality fuel is used, more often this means diesel fuel with winter additives that do not allow it to thicken or separate paraffin in excess of the norm.
In a real situation, for a boiler model with a power of up to 15 kW, you can expect fuel consumption at the level of 8 liters per day , taking into account the frequency of burner operation and the optimal temperature regime in the house. However, this is not the limit.
The right approach to choosing a heating mode, as well as installing a controller with variable temperature conditions, for example, depending on the time of day and day of the week, can reduce consumption even more.
Chimney
Cuturami boilers, gas, diesel, floor-mounted or wall-mounted, are mostly equipped with a closed combustion chamber and, accordingly, a forced exhaust gas removal system. The Turbo series we are currently reviewing is no exception.
Chimney installation diagram
The chimney for boilers is coaxial to simultaneously supply fresh air from the street and remove exhaust gases. Since the exhaust temperature after passing through the heat exchangers is no longer high, the requirements for the heat resistance of the chimney are reduced, and the list of acceptable materials is expanded.
In the best case, a steel coaxial chimney is still used, but a ceramic vertical chimney with a group of internal separate channels for supplying air, removing gases from the combustion chamber and ventilating the boiler room can be effectively used in the same capacity.
The size of the chimney is strictly indicated in the boiler specification and operating instructions. For the entire Turbo series it is 80 mm.
If desired, you can make a chimney with a slightly larger diameter, but no more than 50% above the specified value, that is, up to 120 mm.
Under no circumstances should the size and cross-section be reduced. Even though the removal of combustion products is forced, the resistance of the chimney will greatly affect the combustion mode and the quality of fuel combustion.

turbo 13r
The boiler model number corresponds to the amount of heat generated per hour - 13,000 kcal/hour. Converted to conventional kilowatts, the resulting value is 15.1 kW.
The declared power is enough to heat a house with an area of up to 150 m2. Naturally, one should take into account the heat costs for preparing hot water. If a significant consumption of hot water is predicted, and regularly, then the thermal power for the heating circuit will naturally be lower.
Reliability and balanced operation, combined with the affordable cost of the boiler, gives a clear advantage in the case of using several boilers simultaneously in one building, for example, when dividing the heating circuit for each floor separately or when covering a large area in two more directions.
turbo 17
Boiler Kiturami turbo
Thermal power already reaches 19.8 kW, which is enough to cover the heating of a house with an area of up to 180 m2. It is possible to reasonably increase the upper performance threshold by selecting the appropriate nozzle on the burner, however, this will affect fuel consumption.
This approach allows you to solve the problem of increased hot water consumption so that you don’t have to worry about using hot water even in the most severe frosts without extra costs.
turbo 30 r
The most powerful model in the Kiturami line of liquid fuel boilers. A productivity of 34.9 kW makes it possible to heat a room of up to 350 m2, but at the same time the cost of the boiler at retail is approximately 45-46 thousand rubles , which is undoubtedly an attractive option.
As in the entire line of boilers, burners with a unique torch shape and optimal fuel combustion mode are used.
A minimum amount of nitrogen oxides is recorded in the exhaust, which indicates the high environmental friendliness of the equipment.
Price range
The range of Kiturami gas boilers is very wide. The cost of household models (for a private home) is in the range of 30-60 thousand rubles, but there are also more powerful models that will cost 100-800 thousand.
This price difference is due to the power level and capabilities of the boiler, its purpose and design features.
As a rule, users choose units of lower power and, accordingly, cost.
Before purchasing, you should check the terms of delivery. Boilers in the basic configuration do not have a chimney, so you need to immediately decide which type is needed and order it. You should also immediately acquire filters and a voltage stabilizer.
Settings
It is better to entrust the initial startup and setup of Kiturami boilers to a specialist who can correctly determine the optimal operating mode, select the desired type of nozzle and check the fuel consumption depending on its characteristics and even the method of connection and location of the fuel tank.
Nozzle for diesel boiler
For self-installation, detailed instructions are included with the boiler, according to which you can determine the operating mode closest to the design value.
The main thing is to adhere to the sequence of actions defined in the technical documentation and visual aids for putting the equipment into operation.
Setting up and adjusting the boiler settings should be carried out not only at the first start-up, but also during maintenance before each new season and to switch to summer mode, in which only the DHW circuit will be used.
Malfunctions
Kuturami boiler equipment is equipped with a full-fledged self-diagnosis system based on the operation of a number of sensors. The controller is able to assess the condition of the equipment, as well as the current operating mode, and respond to any deviations or problems that arise during operation.
In any emergency situation, the main action assigned to the boiler controller is to stop the burner to prevent significant consequences.
A well-developed self-diagnosis algorithm allows you to identify the problem and indicate the error code on the display so that the user can quickly take all necessary actions to repair and restore functionality.
Frequent breakdowns of Kiturami diesel boilers include:
- No ignition (error code 01);
- Does not start, there are no messages on the display.;
- Coolant leakage (depressurization of the heat exchanger or one of the pipeline connections);
- The flame periodically goes out with an emergency stop of the boiler;
- There is no draft, the operation of the boiler is accompanied by the flow of smoke and exhaust into the room.
Error 01 and solution
If error code 01 appears on the boiler display screen, it means that for some reason the fuel did not ignite, there is no torch, the controller forcibly stops the fuel supply, displays an error message, and signals the problem to the user.
Solving the problem requires precise execution of a procedure that can identify the source of the problem and eliminate the obstacle in the operation of the boiler as effectively as possible.
Briefly, the procedure looks like this:
- Check the supply voltage;
- Check the fuel line for integrity or capacity;
- Check the condition of the fuel filter; if the scheduled replacement is close, it is better to change the consumable immediately;
- Especially for 21R and 30R boilers, check that the fuel does not flow by gravity;
- Change the fuel for testing to another one, if possible of a higher quality. Alternatively, it is possible, by acting on the air damper, to promote the supply of a rich fuel mixture into the combustion chamber;
- Check or replace the fire control photosensor;
- Check and clean the injector and ignition electrode;
- Check the transformer that supplies the spark to the electrodes.
Quite often, the fuel-air mixture is supplied under too much pressure into the chamber and therefore does not have time to ignite from the electrode. The problem is solved at the 5th step of the algorithm by adjusting the air damper, which causes a mixture with a changed concentration to enter the chamber.
Doesn't start
The most unpleasant situation is when the boiler simply does not turn on. There are no signals on the display, and accordingly there is no error code by which the malfunction can be determined.
In such a situation, it would be appropriate to call a service center specialist who can understand the situation and give the correct verdict, as well as determine the repair procedure. You can independently only check the presence of voltage in the network, as well as the fuses in the boiler.
Leak
Most often, a leak means that the seal has been damaged in some connection of the pipeline inside the boiler. It is enough to inspect the equipment and determine the location of the leak and replace the gasket.
The heat exchanger in Kiturami boilers is made of alloy steel and copper, so it does not leak without obvious errors in the selection of coolant or mechanical damage.
Burner goes out periodically
The most common cause is a malfunction in the burner settings. It is important to adjust its power and, using a gas analyzer, determine the optimal air/fuel ratio for complete combustion. You can’t do such work yourself, so it’s better to contact a service center ="495″[/img]
No ignition
- Lack of fuel: depending on the model and type of boiler (diesel, gas), different solutions must be used; in any case, the cause of the error is the lack of resource for ignition.
- The fuel pump is faulty : depending on the model of the diesel boiler, the pump differs, but the principle still remains the same - pump fuel into the fuel line and supply it to the nozzle for spraying; if the pump stops, you can try to revive it:
- Replacing solenoid valve coils: a common cause of pump failure for Dunfoss BFP 21/41/52/75 pump models.
- Cleaning the fine filter: applicable to Dunfoss BFP 21/41/52/75 pump models.
You can go further and remove the top cover and inspect the insides for blockages; it would be a good idea to clean everything using diesel fuel or kerosene.
In younger models, the pump looks a little different, but the cleaning principle is similar.
- The engine is not working properly : a reference to a breakdown with the pump because... in more powerful models, it is the engine that rotates the fuel pump impeller. It is not advisable to repair it yourself if you are not a specialist in rewinding motors and the words rotor/stator are clear to you.
- The fuel filter is clogged: failure to replace the filter in a timely manner often leads to errors, since fuel either does not flow at all, or the pump does not have enough power to pump it through the clogged filter. The filter needs to be replaced annually/as it gets dirty.
- Failures in the gas supply to the house : often the gas supply pressure on the main line decreases and the boiler does not return to operating mode. The check comes down to igniting all the burners on the stove at maximum mode. Flames with a characteristic shade will indicate the absence of problems with the fuel supply, and their intensity and stability will indicate the constancy of the pressure and its normal value.
You also need to check:
- Position of shut-off valve controls? perhaps the gas supply valve to the house was accidentally turned off or the shut-off valve was activated during a power outage.
- Serviceability, condition of technical devices: meter, reducer (with autonomous gas supply), main filter, filling level of the tank (gas tank, cylinder group).
- We check the integrity of the electrode/ionization sensor: if the insulator is defective, or the sensitive elements (wires) are incorrectly positioned: they can be knocked down due to careless maintenance of the heat exchanger and combustion chamber. The malfunction is caused by a short circuit in the signal line or dampness.
- Checking the gas valve: a gas leak in the valve often causes an error on the remote control display (pressure drops).
The pressure at the boiler inlet is measured with the valve on the pipe closed: you will need a pressure gauge (norm 130–250 mm water column).
Also, the winding often fails and cannot be repaired.
- The ignition transformer is faulty : no current is supplied to the ignition electrode.
