What does sp1 mean on a Ariston boiler?

37
SP1 stands for “first ignition attempt” failed and E501 stands for “no flame detected”. There are a lot of components that may cause this failure and I am afraid that most of them are extensive: gas valve, PCB, fan, detection electrode.


People also ask, why does my Ariston boiler keep cutting out?

Faulty Pump If your boiler's pump is faulty, then it can cause your boiler to switch off. As a pump is used to move water around the central heating system, if it is not working properly, then hot water could just stay in the boiler rather than be moved around the system. This can trigger your boiler to cut out.

Furthermore, what pressure should my boiler be at when it is running? Your boiler must have the right amount of pressure for the hot water to properly circulate around your house. For most systems, your pressure gauge needle should be between 1 and 2 bar. In this article, we'll show you what to do if your boiler's pressure is off and how to spot any pressure problems.

In this regard, what does e02 mean on a boiler?

Ignition failure – the boiler has attempted to light 5 times and not succeeded – check the gas supply is on. E02. False flame – possibly a problem with the power supply. E03. Boiler overheat – check that any valves to the heating circuit have not been shut down, no air in the system and that the water pressure is

What happens if boiler pressure is too low?

The good news is that low boiler pressure is nothing to panic about and is not likely to cause any damage to your boiler. On the other hand, it can have a real effect on the efficiency and effectiveness of your heating system, making it hard to keep your house warm and costing you more on your energy bills.

How do you put water in a boiler?

Adding Water to Boiler
  1. Turn off the heat from the thermostat and allow the boiler to cool completely before filling. This is especially important if the sight glass is empty of any water.
  2. Check the water level in the sight glass.
  3. Pull the handle of the water feed valve back to allow water to flow into the boiler.

How do I fix my boiler?

DIY: 4 ways to fix your boiler before calling an engineer
  1. Re pressurise your boiler. There should be a water pressure indicator on the front of your boiler.
  2. Reset your boiler. Refer to the boiler's manual to find the reset button and push it for 10 seconds.
  3. Bleed your radiators.
  4. Change thermostat batteries.

How do I release pressure from my boiler?

Bleed your radiators. This reduces the pressure in your central heating system and therefore reduces the pressure in your boiler. Continue bleeding the radiator after you have expelled all the air from it until the pressure gauge returns to safe levels.

How do I increase the PSI in my boiler?

What if the pressure in my boiler is too low?
  1. Locate the two filling valves.
  2. Open one of the two valves completely.
  3. Slowly open the second valve, watching how the needle (or indicator light system) on the pressure gauge responds.
  4. Let the needle reach the middle of the green zone (or the marker needle)

How do you increase your water pressure?

Make sure the shutoff valves near the water meter are fully open. Sounds basic, but plumbers still have to charge for a service call to simply turn a water pressure valve handle! Then check the water pressure. If your house is on city water, ask your local water department for a pressure reading.

What does error 108 mean on a boiler?

If you've got low water pressure, it's likely you'll see the 108 fault code displayed on your boiler. Water pressure is lost due to leaks. This could be via your boiler, or other parts of the heating system.

What causes flame lift on boilers?

Agile. Probably not relevant here but flame lift off on a newly installed boiler is almost always caused by a faulty flue seal allowing POC to leak from outlet to inlet thus starving the flame of oxygen.

How do you light a pilot light on a combi boiler?

Turn the gas control knob to the "pilot" position, then press down on the knob. Pressing down on the knob will release gas into the pilot light orifice. Insert a lit fireplace match or a butane candle lighter into the access hole and light the pilot light. Keep holding down the control knob button as you do this.

  2. Step two – Identify which radiators need bleeding.
  3. Step three – Turn off your central heating.
  4. Step four – Prepare the area.
  5. Step five – Open up the radiator bleed valve.
  6. Step six – Bleed the radiator.
  7. Step seven – Repeat the process on all radiators.

Why can't I get hot water from my combi boiler?

The most common cause of no hot water from your gas boiler is the pilot light going out. If your pilot light won't stay lit then it is likely a problem with the thermocouple, which senses when the pilot light is lit and opens a gas valve to keep it lit.

Why does my boiler fire up then cut out?

A faulty pump will cause the boiler to switch off. The pump is an essential component in the central heating system. It helps to move water around the central heating system. If it fails, the hot water just stays in the boiler and this causes the boiler to cut out.

Can a boiler overheat?

Typically, boilers overheat due to the failure of safety controls that maintain the gas and water supply, the temperature and the pressure. When boilers begin to overheat, the internal components of the boiler are put under immense stress and are likely to suffer from irreparable damage.

How do you check the pressure on a Keston c36?

Checking a boiler's pressure level is simple to do, simply take a look at the built-in pressure gauge and if it's below 1 bar then the boiler has low boiler pressure. On Keston C40 and C55 combi boilers, you'll see the E44 error code to let you know there's low water pressure.
