What does the Ideal Logic Max F22 fault code mean?
The F22 fault code on the Ideal Logic Max indicates a dry fire condition or low water pressure within the system. This typically means that the boiler is unable to detect sufficient water flow, which can lead to overheating and potential damage.
Common Causes
- Low Water Pressure: This can occur due to leaks in the system or insufficient water supply, preventing the boiler from operating correctly.
- Air Locks: Trapped air in the heating system can impede water flow, leading to a dry fire situation.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
If you are comfortable, you can check the pressure gauge on your boiler and attempt to repressurise the system by adding water through the filling loop. However, if the issue persists or involves gas or electrical components, it is crucial to call a Gas Safe Engineer.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for addressing the F22 fault could range from £120 to £200, depending on whether it requires a simple pressure adjustment or more extensive repairs such as fixing leaks or air locks.
