Ideal Logic / Vogue L2 Fault. Testing a gas valve • How To Test a Gas Valv...
Today's video I'm going to try and go through, the common question that's asked, L2 fault code ideal logic , also L2 fault code ideal vogue on this one. Sometimes it can also be the F2 fault as well. So in this video today, I'm going to try and go through as many of them faults as possible and show you how to sort them problems out or what to do to find out more about that problem. So yeah, let's get into this video.
Number one, blocked or frozen condensate pipe. So these are in no particular order. I'm just giving you a list of all the different ones and then we'll look at how we can resolve some of the issues with them. So if you go outside, if you have a look at your condensate pipe, sometimes you'll have a black pipe like this outside and then you'll have this little white pipe and these can freeze up if it's in cold weather, these could freeze up. You may see that it's insulated or if it's not insulated, it may be that you want to insulate that. So you'd need to look in the installation instructions and just see what it says about that. But that's a common issue is a blocked off frozen condensate pipe. Sometimes they also block under the sink as well, but it may be you need to get a gas engineer out just to check that. You don't want to start pulling pipes and things off under the sink. So that's number one, condensate.
The next on this list is no gas. So it could just be that you've got a gas token metre and it could be these greedy token metres now that it's just run out of gas. And it may be that you just need to top the metre up. And if you did top the metre up, then you'd come back to the boiler and you'd just click on reset on the boiler and then the boiler would work again. And then if we're a gas engineer, what we can do, we can check if we've got gas to the appliances. So I'm just going to tip the case off on this just to make it a little bit easier to do. And all I'm going to do, I've got a little tester for gas and I'm going to connect this onto gas valve underneath here. And what we're going to do, we're going to check this off, check our test, the standing pressure, and that's just to make sure that we've actually got gas to this gas valve on here. So I'll do that now. We'll just get a screwdriver.
But we've got a gas valve under here. So all we're going to do is just turn the gas valve off and then we're just going to take the screw out on there. As I said, to do this, you must be gas safe registered, you must be competent to do so. So you're just going to fully remove the screw. You need to be really careful that, make sure you don't lose the screw. But we totally take the screw out like that and then what we're going to do, we're just going to connect our SP620 Digital Manometer onto here.
And then what we can do, you can just put this out where, or we can use magnet and we can just stick it on side at boiler and then we just turn the gas on underneath the boiler. As you can see here, I've connected my iPad on here just so we can see what the standing pressure is. So this is the pressure. We've nothing working at the moment. Normally, you'd use this on your phone and what I do is when I'm using it on my phone I would snapshot. So you can snapshot what the standing pressure is if you needed to know that. But for this, all we're doing is we're just checking that we've physically got gas to here. And then from that we would do over check, so we might do is working pressure or whatever that would be, but at the minute we're looking for an L2 or an F2 fault.
So the next thing after this, what we would do, we would check and test the gas valve maybe. So Kevin from Ideal or ex-Ideal engineer has done a really detailed video on how to test gas files because there's different gas files for different models of this boiler for the Ideal Logic and also the Ideal Vogue So what I'll do with that is I'll put a link below to how to test the gas valve because that'll be a much more detailed video for you because obviously it'll show you the different types of boiler. But as I said at the minute, this is just showing, we've physically got gas to the boiler.

Allen, Your a god send mate, Been watching your videos for a few years and the amount of times you've helped is unbelievable. I've now moved house and have the ideal logic boiler and on filling, turned the wrong valve which stopped the flow to the rads. Couldn't understand why I couldn't get heating on lol. watched one of your videos and boom, saved another call out. Cheers mate, keep up the great work.
Happy New Year
Hi Allen. Thanks for the video mate. I'm not a plumber or gas engineer. I had a L2 fault on my Ideal logic combi es35. It turns out it was the condense, but not the pipe. The outside drain was blocked that the condense flows in to, not allowing the condense pipe to empty.
Cheers mate, appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Allen! You're a lifesaver 😊
Based on this video I poured a kettle of warm water over my consender pipe and reset my boiler and it fixed my L2 error code. Many thanks!
Same, my condenser pipe leads outside so I had a feeling it might be frozen over. Had to get the ladder out as my boiler is upstairs but it's better than having to call the boiler man!
Hi Allen OMG tried to reset boiler for central heating since yesterday, read your advice, also wild_greebo Thought this water pouring over the outside pipe is silly!!! Last tip to check and I’m amazed….lReally poured warm water from kettle, waited a few minutes and magic…low and behold it starting working……I’d never think of trying this…..absolutely freezing since yesterday now I can relax not havin to call out a repair guy..🤦♀️🤔which I can’t afford
A massive thank you Allen for this video..👋🏻🫂😀👍
Great video, many thanks! I have an L2 warning and it’s not cold weather, in-fact it’s boiling out! So, this video confirmed what I suspected - that I’m not qualified to sort anything above unfreezing a frozen pipe!
Thanks very much for your comment, please consider subscribing to support the channel 🙂
Top man, cheers Allen, very useful video again.. 👍🏻
I’m still stuck but this video was very useful thank you. Having an L2/F2 fault, might be time to get a gas safe engineer in.
Thank you very much, well explained
Thank you so much I wake up this morning and my boiler not working showing L2. Helps hot water and it's working again 😊
thank you, you helped me solve my problem.
I’m currently 17 year’s old and doing my gas course at College this video really helped me out thanks you for the vid
You have to be 18 to start doing your gas mate my sons just doing his
Thankyou Alan got my boiler fixed today thanks for your advice
Fantastic!
Thanks very much for your comment, please consider subscribing to support the channel 🙂
Very interesting Allen, just watching the video, just to know whats in there in the cabinet. Don't think I'll attempt it, not yet any way...👍
1:38 You said it Allen 🤑🤑🤑, these bas*** are sucking us dry, thank you so much for your expertise it is much appreciated, I just wanted to ask 1 Q, when my pre paid meter money runs out I get cut off, my boiler shows the L2 due to no gas, what I wanted to know is can it damage my boiler having the sudden loss of gas in this way? It is an Ideal C30, thanks again ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Life saver! Thought I'd need to fork out a few hundred quid to call an engineer or replace the boiler but I just needed to top up the meter and restart. Thanks 👍
Hi Alan great videos and really helpful tips and tricks .I'm a gas installer in Dublin and I've noticed since September last year the two buttons on the front of panel one being the restart button normally I use them to go into low/high fire mode and change pump to p1 .Now I've got three boilers from three different suppliers and each time I get the same result it's like as if the buttons aren't lining up but have no joy at I've been in touch with ideal UK but no one knows . Would appreciate your help if you could help me many thanks again Dave
Could you do a video on those cards? I’m interested on how to use them
My vismannm 100 goes to F2 time to time! I have lesson and watch your video! I have check all the possibles and all is good! so now what do I have to check?
Hi Allen when i call for hot water the boiler makes a boom sound, but only twice then fine can you help
My logic + c24 with halo thermostat and externally wired receiver into open therm, throws up an F2 flame loss error when you turn it up 0.5 degrees. If you turn it up 1 degree or 2 or 3 etc it’s completely fine. For some reason it doesn’t like being turned up 0.5 degrees. When it faults it automatically resets itself and starts up fine and starts to work great. Just this 0.5, any ideas .?.?.?.
Adam anlatıyor, sanki boiler ustasıyız 😂😂
Hi Alan I have a 10 year old ideal logic. It hasn't. Been used for 6 months. It was working fine before, now every time the heating tries to come on the boiler fires then cuts out and the f2 fault code comes up. But the hot water side works fine every time I checked the water pressure just over 1 bar the gas supply should be ok as the hw side is OK we had it serviced about 1 Yr ago. Any ideals thanks
Well explained 👍
Thank you sir.
I have this setup and also a WB4000 if you ever fancy a trip to Leeds
Is the 4000 functioning?
@@kevincranfield5235 it’s not but I could connect it in
Which fluke do you use for fault finding on gas boilersv
Hi there
I have ideal logic esp135 and i had gas engeneer to service it regularly but he couldn’t help me, my boiler make banging noise when start its very loud and few people was here to check it and every one said that is ok but every time its fire up is loud banging noise any advice?
How would you locate your condenser pipe?
Thanks I have a pre payment meter and i was able to rest the gas easily after topping it up
So, ideal logic heat 12. Sudden f2, l2 only once popped up... engineer has changed gas valve, electrode and lead, cleaned condense container, checked gas pressure at the boiler and the meter, cleaned venturi and injector, condense pump works... water pressure topped up...f2 comes on around 5 minutes in operation. Any ideas?? Boiler is 12 years old but not used a lot (good epc?
Allen are you from the North West I would love to have a look at my boiler it's crap in the system it's only 6year old viessmann and for you to service the boiler every year
Hi what I have to do when keep flashing PH
@Allen and all gas knowledge folks here, I have an ideal logic c30 base model. I notice that the main selected knob for CH on the boiler itself only shows a digital range from 30 to 35 degrees C when the spec sheet shows it being min 30 C max 80 C .The DHW is fine and shows min 40 C and max 65 C, which matches spec sheet. (More warmth rubbing hands together than the rads) Have you ever encountered something similar.
Sounds as if the control knob shaft is not correctly positioned into the control potentiometer on the control board. I expect you have had this fixed by now.
hi great vids. can you please drop a recommended gas course web link, many thanks
Just poured water over our outlet pipe & hey presto l2 code gone & everything working again, thank you so much.
My hero
Hello, I am new in this field and want to buy multimeter. Is Fluke multimeter 115 is good enough for gas trade. Thanks
116 I believe
I have 1 boiler i mini from ideal , i have 1 strange sound i have 2 specialist in 2 days and same problem i have 1 strange sound and 1 sound like 1 car when he want to start and f2

I have a logic combo boiler c24 and it’s on an L2 fault, I had no gas but it’s now been delivered but it’s still not working, I reset it and checked the pipe isn’t frozen but I don’t know what else to do! Help! Please!
What was the Worcester tip Allan I’m dying to know 😂😂
I have hot water , but no heat , pressure is correct , what can be wrong
I have a ideal that goes to F2 when fan speed drops. Could anyone give me some help
I keep getting the F2 and L2 one after another, after resetting one or twice it comes back on (the boiler has been doing it for nearly a year). Just ordered the hive rad valves so need the faults fixed so it doesn't keep tripping once the flame goes out.
Just ordered a Flame sensor and Ignition electrode hoping it's one of them.
Did changing either of those work for you?
@MrMaxFreeze I changed both mate, and it worked only cost £25
@@rootyroot thanks mate. I’ve changed both but it keeps playing up, next is the spark generator
@MrMaxFreeze mine sparks straight away but it has a bit of a delay on the spark, and sometimes makes a loud bang when it sparks for some reason, so I'm tempted to change mine
@@rootyroot mine does most of the time.. except for when it seems it doesn’t. I’ve replaced both probes already! I saw on another video that the spark generator usually goes within months of the probes needing to be replaced.
Did exactly as suggested and absolutely nothing happens
Hello my boiler is allways showing f2
I suggest you call someone out to check it. Thanks.
Just realise it weren’t my boiler I had to open valve back up by pressing A/B on gas meter silly me forgot you had to do that when you run out of gas credit stupid me lol
Ideal the boiler with more faults than I’ve ever seen they really are crap
What does the card do? You never said 😊
It is good for testing components with multi meter
Good question Deano
Where's the label saying "INCLUDES PAID PROMOTION"?
These are a poor boiler. Simple in design and to fix. Im binning mine as the board went, heat exchanger, ignition, pressure switch, make sure the diverter cartridge doesn’t stick by cleaning it, pre heat option a waste of time being on it, hot water is rubbish it cannot keep up with water flow to heat it quick enough… had trouble since year 7 of it life and limped on until 10.
Only bit I never touched was gas side, the rest any clown can do as long as you are methodical. Board is plug n play! £70 don’t fall for £250! pressure switch pulls out just make sure depressurise the system, oh n pay £350 for one off payment direct to ideal repair if it’s a major job over that price, it’s a one off fee, not a repair contract though.
Amaxin better impossible
Very poor, didn't learn anything I know . But he seems a nice bloke . Give up the utube kid
