What does the Ideal Mini F62 fault code mean?
The F62 fault code on the Ideal Mini indicates a problem with the central heating inlet temperature sensor. This fault typically arises when the sensor detects an abnormal temperature reading, which can affect the boiler’s operation.
Common Causes
- Faulty Inlet Temperature Sensor: The sensor may be malfunctioning or damaged, leading to incorrect temperature readings.
- Blocked Heat Exchanger: A blockage in the heat exchanger can prevent proper water flow, causing temperature discrepancies.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is advisable to call a Gas Safe Engineer to diagnose and repair this issue, as it involves gas and electrical components that require professional expertise.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving the F62 fault could be around £150 to £250, primarily depending on whether the inlet temperature sensor needs replacing or if additional repairs are required for the heat exchanger.
