What does the Ideal Logic Plus F96 fault code mean?
The F96 fault code on the Ideal Logic Plus indicates a problem with the energy benchmarks, which typically relates to the boiler’s ability to assess its efficiency and performance. This fault can affect the boiler’s operation and may prevent it from functioning correctly.
Common Causes
- Faulty Sensor: A malfunctioning sensor that measures energy consumption can lead to inaccurate readings and trigger the F96 fault code.
- Software Glitch: An issue with the boiler’s software or firmware may cause it to misinterpret data, resulting in the F96 error.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for this issue, as it involves the boiler’s internal systems and may require professional diagnostics and repairs.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving the F96 fault could range from £150 to £300, depending on whether a sensor replacement or software update is necessary. This cost reflects the complexity of diagnosing and fixing electronic faults in modern boilers.
