How to fix Ideal Logic Max fault code F60

What does the Ideal Logic Max F60 fault code mean?

The F60 fault code on the Ideal Logic Max indicates that the central heating (CH) flow switch is closed, which suggests that the boiler is not detecting the expected flow of water through the system. This can prevent the boiler from operating correctly and may lead to heating issues.

Common Causes

  • Blocked Flow Switch: Debris or scale buildup can obstruct the flow switch, causing it to remain closed.
  • Faulty Flow Switch: The flow switch itself may be malfunctioning or damaged, leading to incorrect readings.

Can I fix it myself? (DIY)

It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer to diagnose and repair the issue, as working on gas appliances can be dangerous. However, you can check the boiler pressure and reset the boiler if necessary.

Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)

The estimated repair cost for fixing the F60 fault could range from £100 to £250, depending on whether the flow switch needs cleaning or replacement. Replacement parts and labour costs contribute to this estimate.
