How to fix Ideal Logic Plus fault code F39

What does the Ideal Logic Plus F39 fault code mean?

The F39 fault code on the Ideal Logic Plus indicates a problem with the air pressure switch, which is responsible for monitoring the airflow in the boiler. This fault typically suggests that the switch is either stuck, blocked, or malfunctioning, preventing the boiler from operating safely.

Common Causes

  • Blocked Flue: A blockage in the flue system can prevent proper airflow, causing the air pressure switch to fail.
  • Faulty Air Pressure Switch: The switch itself may be defective or damaged, leading to incorrect readings and triggering the fault code.

Can I fix it myself? (DIY)

It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer to diagnose and repair the issue, as working with gas appliances can be dangerous. Attempting to fix the air pressure switch or related components without proper training may lead to further complications.

Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)

The estimated repair cost for addressing the F39 fault code is around £150 to £250, which includes the cost of a new air pressure switch and labour. This price reflects the complexity of the repair and the need for a qualified engineer to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
