What does the Ideal Vogue Max E260 fault code mean?
The E260 fault code on the Ideal Vogue Max indicates an ignition fault, meaning the boiler is unable to ignite the burner. This can prevent the heating and hot water from functioning properly.
Common Causes
- Faulty Ignition Electrode: If the ignition electrode is damaged or dirty, it may not create the necessary spark to ignite the gas.
- Gas Supply Issues: Insufficient gas supply or a blockage in the gas line can prevent the boiler from igniting.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for any gas-related issues, including ignition faults, as they require specific expertise and safety precautions. Attempting to fix these issues yourself can be dangerous.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving an E260 fault could be around £150 to £250, primarily depending on whether the ignition electrode needs replacement or if there are gas supply issues that require more extensive work.
