Ideal Logic L2 / F2 Fault Code | Gas Boiler Breakdown | How To Repair A Gas Boiler

[@davegardner6253]

Allen, Your a god send mate, Been watching your videos for a few years and the amount of times you've helped is unbelievable. I've now moved house and have the ideal logic boiler and on filling, turned the wrong valve which stopped the flow to the rads. Couldn't understand why I couldn't get heating on lol. watched one of your videos and boom, saved another call out. Cheers mate, keep up the great work.

[@AllenHart999]

Happy New Year

[@royanderson2282]

Hi Allen. Thanks for the video mate. I'm not a plumber or gas engineer. I had a L2 fault on my Ideal logic combi es35. It turns out it was the condense, but not the pipe. The outside drain was blocked that the condense flows in to, not allowing the condense pipe to empty. Cheers mate, appreciate it.

[@AllenHart999]

Thanks for sharing

[@wild_greebo]

Based on this video I poured a kettle of warm water over my consender pipe and reset my boiler and it fixed my L2 error code. Many thanks!

[@KEC0001]

Same, my condenser pipe leads outside so I had a feeling it might be frozen over. Had to get the ladder out as my boiler is upstairs but it's better than having to call the boiler man!

[@Paola11852]

Hi Allen OMG tried to reset boiler for central heating since yesterday, read your advice, also wild_greebo Thought this water pouring over the outside pipe is silly!!! Last tip to check and I’m amazed….lReally poured warm water from kettle, waited a few minutes and magic…low and behold it starting working……I’d never think of trying this…..absolutely freezing since yesterday now I can relax not havin to call out a repair guy..🤦‍♀️🤔which I can’t afford A massive thank you Allen for this video..👋🏻🫂😀👍

[@DaveSimkiss]

Great video, many thanks! I have an L2 warning and it’s not cold weather, in-fact it’s boiling out! So, this video confirmed what I suspected - that I’m not qualified to sort anything above unfreezing a frozen pipe!

I’m currently 17 year’s old and doing my gas course at College this video really helped me out thanks you for the vid

[@pauls826]

You have to be 18 to start doing your gas mate my sons just doing his

[@GoldenGateNum9]

1:38 You said it Allen 🤑🤑🤑, these bas*** are sucking us dry, thank you so much for your expertise it is much appreciated, I just wanted to ask 1 Q, when my pre paid meter money runs out I get cut off, my boiler shows the L2 due to no gas, what I wanted to know is can it damage my boiler having the sudden loss of gas in this way? It is an Ideal C30, thanks again ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@paulkennedy5953]

Very interesting Allen, just watching the video, just to know whats in there in the cabinet. Don't think I'll attempt it, not yet any way...👍

[@JavedsYT]

I’m still stuck but this video was very useful thank you. Having an L2/F2 fault, might be time to get a gas safe engineer in.

[@trampham8603]

Life saver! Thought I'd need to fork out a few hundred quid to call an engineer or replace the boiler but I just needed to top up the meter and restart. Thanks 👍

[@kolamthuk5942]

Hi what I have to do when keep flashing PH

[@asdreww]

I have an interesting fault - repeated L2 fault when the boiler tries to reignite when it's warm, so if it's been on in say the last 20 minutes. If I leave it longer & reset boiler, it fires right up.

[@SuperBlackguard]

Brilliant Video always informative and well summed up Cheers again Alan.

[@joetucker561]

Good video but the only issue is, how far do you go and how many parts do you replace before you get too deep in.. I’ve been to a 10 year old logic today with an L2, evidence of sump leaking and ideal said it “might” be the gas valve. I told customer it’s not been looked after or serviced and there’s no certainty I can get it working after changing 1 part.

[@davidmillar5067]

Thankyou Alan got my boiler fixed today thanks for your advice

So, ideal logic heat 12. Sudden f2, l2 only once popped up... engineer has changed gas valve, electrode and lead, cleaned condense container, checked gas pressure at the boiler and the meter, cleaned venturi and injector, condense pump works... water pressure topped up...f2 comes on around 5 minutes in operation. Any ideas?? Boiler is 12 years old but not used a lot (good epc?

[@letsbye]

2 year old boiler, started making a huge vibrating noise a week prior, but still worked. Eventually, it stopped this morning with a L2 code. temp doesn't go up more than 23, makes a gurgling noise on top. The gas engineer, listened to the symptoms and correctly guessed the patients name 'Ideal logic Combi'.

[@lijosid]

Have you fixed the problem? I have the same issue with same boiler

[@letsbye]

@@lijosid turns out it was a drain block. The boiler sends condensation water through a drain pipe, that sends out to drain. in our case is merged with the kitchen sink drain pipe. Not sure if it has a s trap to it. We cleaned the drain pipe as much as we can, that cleared the rumbling sound. It still has a noisy fan sound every time it turs the heat.

[@stevenbateman9597]

Hi Alan I have a 10 year old ideal logic. It hasn't. Been used for 6 months. It was working fine before, now every time the heating tries to come on the boiler fires then cuts out and the f2 fault code comes up. But the hot water side works fine every time I checked the water pressure just over 1 bar the gas supply should be ok as the hw side is OK we had it serviced about 1 Yr ago. Any ideals thanks

[@ItsAmberplays]

Hi there I have ideal logic esp135 and i had gas engeneer to service it regularly but he couldn’t help me, my boiler make banging noise when start its very loud and few people was here to check it and every one said that is ok but every time its fire up is loud banging noise any advice?

[@zooj4902]

I'm in an air bnb and it seems that the L2 error code is there. Question is, is it ok to just leave it until the air bnb host sorts it or should I turn something off?

[@samanthahollingsworth7189]

@samanthahollingsworth7189 0 seconds ago I have a logic combo boiler c24 and it’s on an L2 fault, I had no gas but it’s now been delivered but it’s still not working, I reset it and checked the pipe isn’t frozen but I don’t know what else to do! Help! Please!

[@gerardodoherty7625]

How would you locate your condenser pipe?

[@descamm9313]

Top man, cheers Allen, very useful video again.. 👍🏻

[@marisataylor2408]

Thanks, L2 fault was ok after I reset 😊

[@MrMarkski]

Hi Allen when i call for hot water the boiler makes a boom sound, but only twice then fine can you help

[@munnstar12]

@Allen and all gas knowledge folks here, I have an ideal logic c30 base model. I notice that the main selected knob for CH on the boiler itself only shows a digital range from 30 to 35 degrees C when the spec sheet shows it being min 30 C max 80 C .The DHW is fine and shows min 40 C and max 65 C, which matches spec sheet. (More warmth rubbing hands together than the rads) Have you ever encountered something similar.

[@davidhowell2269]

Sounds as if the control knob shaft is not correctly positioned into the control potentiometer on the control board. I expect you have had this fixed by now.

[@Raj-ul9my]

Which fluke do you use for fault finding on gas boilersv

[@romeogauthier9637]

My vismannm 100 goes to F2 time to time! I have lesson and watch your video! I have check all the possibles and all is good! so now what do I have to check?

[@rootyroot]

I keep getting the F2 and L2 one after another, after resetting one or twice it comes back on (the boiler has been doing it for nearly a year). Just ordered the hive rad valves so need the faults fixed so it doesn't keep tripping once the flame goes out. Just ordered a Flame sensor and Ignition electrode hoping it's one of them.

[@MrMaxFreeze]

Did changing either of those work for you?

[@rootyroot]

@MrMaxFreeze I changed both mate, and it worked only cost £25

[@MrMaxFreeze]

@@rootyroot thanks mate. I’ve changed both but it keeps playing up, next is the spark generator

[@rootyroot]

@MrMaxFreeze mine sparks straight away but it has a bit of a delay on the spark, and sometimes makes a loud bang when it sparks for some reason, so I'm tempted to change mine

[@MrMaxFreeze]

@@rootyroot mine does most of the time.. except for when it seems it doesn’t. I’ve replaced both probes already! I saw on another video that the spark generator usually goes within months of the probes needing to be replaced.

Hi Alan great videos and really helpful tips and tricks .I'm a gas installer in Dublin and I've noticed since September last year the two buttons on the front of panel one being the restart button normally I use them to go into low/high fire mode and change pump to p1 .Now I've got three boilers from three different suppliers and each time I get the same result it's like as if the buttons aren't lining up but have no joy at I've been in touch with ideal UK but no one knows . Would appreciate your help if you could help me many thanks again Dave

[@frazzzz1066]

Ideal the boiler with more faults than I’ve ever seen they really are crap

[@bigcahoonaburger8550]

These are a poor boiler. Simple in design and to fix. Im binning mine as the board went, heat exchanger, ignition, pressure switch, make sure the diverter cartridge doesn’t stick by cleaning it, pre heat option a waste of time being on it, hot water is rubbish it cannot keep up with water flow to heat it quick enough… had trouble since year 7 of it life and limped on until 10. Only bit I never touched was gas side, the rest any clown can do as long as you are methodical. Board is plug n play! £70 don’t fall for £250! pressure switch pulls out just make sure depressurise the system, oh n pay £350 for one off payment direct to ideal repair if it’s a major job over that price, it’s a one off fee, not a repair contract though.

[@jamesmincher3435]

Just realise it weren’t my boiler I had to open valve back up by pressing A/B on gas meter silly me forgot you had to do that when you run out of gas credit stupid me lol
