Ideal Logic Combi 35 (F1 Message)

[Andyjp1]

Hi All,

After the "Shock" of jumping into a freezing cold shower this morning it prompted me to go and check the boiler. The LED was flashing a F1 message, something i've never seen before?
I switched the boiler on and off and it's done the trick for now but obviously dont want it to breakdown completely with a new born in the house.

Does anyone know what I should do to fix this?

I've been in this new build property for 14 months now and I think that I was meant to get the boiler serviced after 1 year to keep the warranty of the boiler valid but I didnt (Totally forgot)
So im guessing im not covered with Persimmon for the boiler anymore??

Also i've been looking at getting some form of boiler cover, any decent company's anyone recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Where about a are you andy ?

I believe F1 is low water pressure, you'll need to top up the boiler. Welcome to the forum

I thought that may be the case, not sure how to do this tho

Peronally wouldn't bother with boiler cover. Get your boiler serviced, only 2 month out, they should be fine. Have it serviced every year. Some logics come with a 7 year warranty. Good boilers. You will spend less on the boiler over its life time than you would on cover.

Pressure needs to be topped up, use the filling loop underneath the boiler.. Is on the right and it should be a blue & black valve.. Top it up to 1bar, the gauge is on the left hand side under the boiler.

Wheres the filling loop? I can see the blue and black valves...

Far 2 pipes on the right side under the boiler, then the blue & black valves close to the front of the boiler.. The filling loop should not be left connected so if it hasn't then connect it, but if it has been left on just turn both on until you reach 1-1.5Bar then close. (filling loop looks like a chrome elbow & a flexi bend, connecting both pipes)

oh yeah I see that, it's not connected to anything but not sure what to connect it to. It's also leaking ever so slightly since I turned the valves..

ah ok. I've found the filling loop and have taken the cap of and taken the cap off the blue valve. It looks like I'm missing a rubber washer of some sort in the loop as water just leaks out of it when connected

next question: I have increased pressureto 1.5 bar but boiler is still not working?

well, you need to turn back the Return pipe valve to the ON position

I'm waiting for it ha, I did try to mention the front two valves.

so after trying to connect the filling loop it looks as thou it's a tad too small to connect fully as it leaks out as its at an angle when plugged in. Typical mitie. Currently waiting for them to call me and come out to fix the issue.
