Why is my ferroli boiler flashing F5?
The F5 fault code on the display panel is a sign of an overheating boiler. It’s likely that your boiler is locked out, so it won’t start. In the case of an overheating fault, this ensures that no damage is done to internal components.
What should the pressure be on a Ferroli boiler?
between 1.0 and 2.0
The boiler pressure should be between 1.0 and 2.0 on your gauge. If the pressure drops below 1.0, you’ll need to suppress it.
What does F5 on boiler mean?
If your Glow-Worm boiler is showing the F5 fault code on the display panel, it means there has been an overheat fault. And, it’s likely that your boiler has locked out, so it will no longer ignite. In the case of an overheat fault, this ensures that no further damage is caused to internal components.
How to know if your Ferroli boiler has a fault?
Check the position of the flow sensor or check pump and radiator valves High fume temperature – the exchanger probe detects an excessive temperature for over 2 minutes – check the exchanger. Fan problem – tachometer signal interrupted fan connection.
How does the thermostat work on a Ferroli boiler?
The thermostat will automatically control boiler operation with the regards to the heating output, it will also interrupt temporairly the electrical supply to meet the thermostat heat requirements. All Ferroli models are equipped with the LCD display that helps in fault finding.
Why does my Ferroli boiler make a puffing sound?
If your Ferroli boiler is only igniting briefly, or making a ‘puffing’ sound, this is usually down to flue problems, such as corrosion in the flue duct, or joints coming lose. The Fix: Get an engineer to replace your flue or clamps holding the flue in place.
What should I do if I get an error code on my boiler?
It implies, inter alia, providing information on possible malfunction of its equipment. In particular, see error codes boiler Ferroli table below. • Check the regular gas flow to the boiler and the air has been eliminated from the pipes. • Cut off and restore the electricity supply. If the trouble remains, check and/or change the main P.C.B.

Why is the frost protection on a Ferroli boiler?
The electrical circuit of the boiler is designed so that if for any reason the air pressure switch contacts remain closed when the fan stops, the burner will not start up again. The frost protection is a safety device which allows boiler to function properly in temperatures close to freezing point.
