Possible Causes

Blocked flue, incorrect flue installation, faulty flue gas sensor (if fitted), poor combustion due to a blocked burner.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the boiler and do not attempt to use it until checked. Flue gas faults can lead to a carbon monoxide risk. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer immediately.

  • Ventilation check: Ensure boiler cupboard vents (if required) are not blocked and that the boiler has an adequate air supply.
  • External flue inspection: From outside, check for obvious obstructions or damage to the flue terminal.
  • Engineer tasks:
    • Perform combustion analysis with a flue gas analyzer.
    • Inspect and clean the burner and heat exchanger.
    • Verify flue integrity, seals, and slope.
    • Test or replace any flue gas temperature or safety sensors fitted on the Vokera model.

Do not attempt DIY repairs on flue or combustion components.
