What does the Ideal Logic Max F29 fault code mean?
The F29 fault code on the Ideal Logic Max indicates a flame detection fault, meaning the boiler is unable to detect a flame during operation. This can prevent the boiler from functioning properly and may require immediate attention.
Common Causes
- Faulty Flame Sensor: The flame sensor may be dirty or malfunctioning, preventing it from accurately detecting the flame.
- Gas Supply Issues: Insufficient gas supply or pressure can lead to the flame not being established, triggering the fault code.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for any gas or electrical issues related to the boiler. Attempting to fix these problems without proper training can be dangerous.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving an F29 fault could range from £100 to £250, depending on whether the flame sensor needs cleaning or replacement, and the complexity of the gas supply issue.
