Ignition lockout after 5 attempts

Gas boiler

What it means

Boiler fails to light after 5 ignition attempts and locks out, displaying fault code L02.

Likely causes

  1. Boiler did not light within 5 ignition attempts
  2. Failure to establish burner flame after repeated ignition attempts
  3. Flue components not correctly assembled, fixed or supported
  4. Flue or flue terminal obstruction
  5. Displaced seals on flue extensions
  6. Combustion products and inlet air mixing due to flue leakage
  7. Incorrect gas type or gas supply pressure/rate not verified prior to commissioning
  8. Incorrect gas rate/pressure
  9. Poor combustion
  10. Air/gas ratio valve fault
  11. Flue restriction or leakage
  12. CO/CO2 ratio greater than 0.004 indicating combustion deposits or fouling

Where to start

  1. Check ignition sequence completes
  2. Press Restart Button (E) to repeat ignition sequence

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
