Logic Combi 30 Ignition Lockout

[MS89]

Hi

I have Logic Combi 30 which keeps going into Ignition Lockout. It'll be 50-50 whether it will go into ignition lockout when I either turn central heating on or run a hot water tap. Resetting temporarily fixes it. It should be noted once the central heating is on, there is no issue and we will get heat from radiators and hot water tap. Or if the hot water is running, it won't lockout midway. The issue is when switching on the heating or hot water from scratch.

Gas is not issue as cooker has sufficient supply. The condensate is trap and pipe outside is clear.

Have had a Gas Safe Engineer out and he seems to think it's time for a new boiler without advising what the problem is.

Out of warranty period but has had service every year since installation 7 years ago.

Any advice would be appreciated.

If your getting a F2 error code when this happens first thing to look for a different gsr engineer.

Dump your "engineer" for someone who knows Logics, easily curable.

Even Ideal on a fixed price repair would be cheaper than anew boiler!

I'll take advice and change engineer.

Any guesses on what could be the root cause? Just seems odd that it won't be an issue once heating is on but otherwise it's 50-50 wether ignition lockout warning will show up.

Hi MS89 - I have exactly the same boiler & fault symptoms as you described. Have had the boiler for nearly 8 years now & ignition lockouts have been a problem on & off for the last 6 years. Although we have had stream of gas engineers change everything apart from the PCB, even the mains incoming gas regulator by Cadence, this problem has now got worse to requiring resetting 3-5 times per day !! So only thing left to do is to get an Ideal engineer in but I don't hold out much hope. Would be interested to know what you ended up doing. thx#

Hi.

Mines still has the same problem despite multiple engineers investigating.

I'm going to get it replaced shortly as I have a large refurbishment plan in place.
