How to reset a Ferroli boiler: We show you how this can be done.
Learning how to reset a Ferroli boiler is one of the handiest skills you can have if you own a heating appliance from this brand. The Reset or rearm function can help you out of many sticky situations. It allows you to restart your heating again when you need it the most and can function as a good stopgap until you are able to call in a technician to repair the fault properly. In this article, we will discuss how to reset a Ferroli boiler, and when this should be done.
Intuitive and accurate interface display
As you know, Ferroli is one of the most sought-after wall boiler brands on the market. It has many benefits but its energy consumption is particularly low, which ensures that there are minimal polluting emissions and they comply with the new regulations. Ferroli boilers are also very versatile. In addition, regarding this article topic, they have one very important feature: their control panel design is very user-friendly, minimalist, and compact, meaning that any user can easily understand and use it.
Ferroli has kept the customer in mind with their intuitive and easy-to-use boiler displays which describe faults in detail with an error code that always gives suggestions on how to resolve problems, at least in general terms. The error code tables in Ferroli manuals are quite detailed, so it’s best to leave understanding and resolve them to a professional boiler technician who can easily diagnose the problem.
How to reset or rearm a Ferroli boiler
Ferroli manuals are very clear on the 2 procedures for resetting or rearming their boilers:
- Directly on the boiler control panel: Press the Reset button for 1 second
- Using the remote programmable clock: This option is only available if you have installed the optional remote programmable clock.
If you have tried resetting the boiler using one of the above two methods and your boiler is still not working, you would need to solve the problem using the error code that is displayed on the control panel. The user manual will show you the possible causes and solutions for this issue in the error code table.
According to Ferroli, there are 2 kinds of errors
Below we will show you how to understand Ferroli’s fault and error code system better and how to resolve these issues. Whenever there is a boiler problem, the control panel will flash and show an error code. According to the Ferroli manuals, your boiler can display 2 error types and this will determine whether or not the boiler needs to be reset:
Type A codes (can be resolved by resetting)
Some errors or problems can cause the boiler to stop working permanently (they are “permanent” in the sense that they are not corrected automatically, meaning the problem will continue until the user does something to resolve it).
These kinds of manuals are described in the manual with the letter “A”, and the first thing that needs to be done is for the unit to be manually restarted. For the boiler to start working again, it needs to be reset or rearmed using one of the methods indicated above.
Type F codes (can be automatically resolved without resetting)
Apart from this, problems that display an “F” (plus a number) can cause the boiler to temporarily stop working in the sense that the issue is automatically resolved as soon as whatever was causing the problem has been fixed. The boiler will then return to its normal operation.
When does the manual recommend resetting a Ferroli boiler?
As we have seen above, there are only a few instances where you need to manually reset your boiler (when you get an “A” error code + a number). The codes shown below are the main error codes where resetting is necessary, as well as the possible causes and solutions. If you can’t find the code you’re looking for below, consult your user manual:
