What does the Ideal Vogue Max E119 fault code mean?
The E119 fault code on the Ideal Vogue Max indicates that the boiler has detected low water pressure within the system. This can lead to insufficient heating and hot water supply, requiring immediate attention to restore normal operation.
Common Causes
- Low Pressure in the System: This can occur due to leaks in the heating system or radiators, which allow water to escape and reduce overall pressure.
- Faulty Pressure Relief Valve: If the pressure relief valve is malfunctioning, it may not retain the necessary pressure within the system, leading to the E119 fault code.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
You can attempt to fix low water pressure by checking the pressure gauge on the boiler and using the filling loop to add water to the system until it reaches the recommended pressure (typically 1-1.5 bar). However, if you suspect leaks or issues with the pressure relief valve, it is advisable to call a Gas Safe Engineer for safety and compliance reasons.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for addressing low water pressure issues, such as replacing a faulty pressure relief valve, could be around £150-£250. This includes parts and labour, as the valve itself typically costs between £50-£100, with the remainder covering the engineer’s time.
