Attention! Buderus boilers require a correct fuel to ensure a proper operation. Especially because the statistics show that Buderus boiler faults occur mostly due to two reasons

  • wrong installation and commissioning
  • wrong or dirty fuel

Remedying burner faults

As mentioned above there are two types of faults burner faults and the control device and heating system faults. Whenever there is a burner fault, the lamp located on the burner will flash. In most cases those faults can be remedied by simply resetting the burner/ resetting the appliance (look below procedure on how to reset the boiler). Heating system faults/errors will be displayed on the display of the control device. Control device and heating system fault finding is included in the section above. To remedy burner faults you should remove the burner hood, if the boiler has an integral burner. Next you should press the burner reset button as shown on the picture below
