Some alerts can be resolved with simple and safe checks: replenishing the water pressure, bleeding the air from the radiators, checking that the gas valve is open, or resetting the boiler after a temporary lockout. If the code reappears after doing this, there is an underlying cause that should be reviewed by a qualified technician. Do not manipulate internal gas components nor electronics.

How to replenish the pressure step by step

  1. Locate the filling valve under the boiler.
  2. Open it slowly while observing the pressure gauge.
  3. Close the valve upon arrival at between 1 and 1.5 bar in cold.
  4. Bleed the radiators starting with the furthest one and check the pressure again.
  5. Reset the boiler; if the pressure warning disappears, the problem was resolved.

All fault codes and their solution

101 — Overtemperature in the heating circuit

Why does it appear: The flow NTC sensor detects a temperature above 102 °C. Common causes: defective circulation pump, blocked installation filter, scaling in the heat exchanger, incorrect gas pressure in the valve.

Fault codes related to sensors, electronics, gas valve, fan, or flue gas evacuation require a qualified technician with the appropriate equipment. If the same fault code reappears after a reset, or if the pressure drops repeatedly, a professional inspection is advisable. In Uniclima do you find spare parts for this boiler.

Frequently Asked Questions

In cold conditions (heating off), the circuit pressure should be between 1 and 1.5 bar, visible on the pressure gauge on the front panel. If it is below approximately 0.8 bar, error 108 will appear and the boiler will request filling. If it exceeds 3 bar, error 109 will be triggered. To refill, slowly open the filling tap until the correct range is reached and then close it completely.

When the boiler goes into lockout (fault that does not recover on its own), a lockout symbol appears on the display. Press and hold the power/reset button for about 3 seconds until the boiler attempts to restart. If the fault repeats more than 5 times in 15 minutes, code 304 will appear and a qualified technician will be required to identify the root cause.

As a user, you can safely check: (1) that the gas shut-off valve is open and other gas appliances are working, (2) that the pressure gauge reads between 1 and 1.5 bar when cold and refill if necessary, (3) that the thermostat or programmer is calling for heating or hot water, (4) that there is no power or gas supply outage in your area. Any other actions—internal inspection, valve adjustments, electrical components—should be carried out by a qualified technician.

Fault 501 (absence of flame) can appear even with gas supply if the ignition or ionisation electrode is dirty, deteriorated, or poorly positioned, if the gas pressure in the network is transiently low, or if the boiler's gas valve has an internal problem. After a single lockout, a manual reset can be attempted. If the fault repeats, a qualified technician should inspect the electrode and the gas valve.
