What does the Ideal Mini F60 fault code mean?
The F60 fault code on the Ideal Mini boiler indicates a central heating outlet temperature fault, which suggests that the boiler is unable to reach or maintain the required temperature for the central heating system. This can lead to inadequate heating performance and may require immediate attention.
Common Causes
- Faulty Temperature Sensor: A malfunctioning temperature sensor may provide incorrect readings, causing the boiler to shut down to prevent overheating.
- Blocked Heat Exchanger: A blockage in the heat exchanger can restrict water flow, leading to insufficient heating and triggering the F60 fault code.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for this issue, as it involves gas and electrical components that require professional handling. Attempting DIY repairs could pose safety risks.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving the F60 fault could be around £150 to £250, primarily depending on whether the temperature sensor needs replacement or if the heat exchanger requires cleaning or repair.
