We've got 2 small kids and our boiler showed this error on the most coldest, snowiest day ever! You just saved us calling somebody out!!! Thank you so much
Thank you very much Sir I fixed mine just now because of your advice I found the water pipe blocked by ice and we have been out of heating and hot water for three days. Thank you very much and also my kids and wife they thank you as well you really changed our day .
Genius advise about the the blocked condenser pipe , it froze today so took it apart and got it flowing again . Heat and faith in mankind is restored
My daughter has just had this boiler fitted in her garage ,So that pipe will be open to freezing,so well done for this video ,cheers it also connected to a megg flow.
THANK YOU!!!! Just had the L2 error message in this awful weather and pouring kettle after kettle of boiling water over the external condensation/waste pipe resulted in an eventual glugging noise been heard after continuous resets and voila she springs back into life. Thank you again for this video, would never have known otherwise.
I am glad it helped. Please subscribe if you haven't already and watch the Boiler play list which I will constantly update with DIY-ble fixes :-)
Absolutely class. Mine was frozen outside, cleared it pouring boiling water over the pipe then she fired up like a rocket. Thanks a million for sharing this. Hope the call out fee wasn't too much
Glad it helped Chris. Fortunately mine was covered by the home insurance.
Thank you for this... got our boiler working again from pouring hot water too
Thank you very much. It just got very cold here and my boiler stopped working. Turns out that pipe was frozen solid. Couple of hammer bangs and it’s firing up ok. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. Your a life saver and an absolute legend too. The amount of times I have called someone to rectify this issue and they failed to do this. God bless you
I moved to a house that has prepaid meters, stuck with them for now, anyway gas ran out boiler displaying L2. Reset and working now so thank you for this video.
thanks mate, very handy. my condenser pipe froze over, 2 minute fix with kettle full of hot water. definitely 1st thing to check if this happens in cold weather imo.
Great video. Had the same problem I did a reset and then used a blow dryer on the condensation pipe which was just under the boiler and then ran hot boiling water from my kettle onto the pipe which was outside of the property and it worked make sure you switch off you boiler before performing the above
You just saved us getting the boys out and costing fortune! Hot kettle on the external pipe and back on instantly! Thank you!

Excellent! Your solution to my problem was the the first on my Google search results. Saved me any more searching and/or dismantling. Thank you for sharing.
Mate was freezing and was told to wait 3 days for next appointment with gas man. Saw this video and found the pip and now we have 🔥🔥🔥....thank you!!
Thank you from me as well. They had forgotten to lag external condensation pipe which had frozen solid. As safety boiler then gives the L2 error. Numerous kettles later it is working and pipe being lagged as I type. Thanks again
Kevin Norris sorry...pkease help. single mum and now just literally this has happened to me. stupid question but where is the condensation pipe? is this the same as a drain pipe ?
do I just pour boiling water down the sink ?
cannot afford a boiler call out and it's snowing here in UK.
thank you for the video i have the combi 30 L 2 Flame Loss but thanks to your vid i have sorted the problem it was down to ice blocking the end of the pip ,,,,thank god for the internet lol forgot to say its been minus 8 plus lower last week :)

hi everyone.. had same issue with my logic combi 30.. our condensate pipe didn't really seem likely to have frozen due to it's route and it not being super cold at the moment.. I removed the front cover of my boiler. removed the internal cover, and I actually removed something called a condensate trap/syphon (which was totally blocked up with coarse dark grey deposits with a sandlike texture), cleaned and refitted it and problem sorted after restart and reset.. Also I found out whilst removing the trap that you can do a semi-temporary fix by just undoing the plug on the bottom of the boiler with just your hand! This empties half of the trap (like oil empties out of the sump in a car). I say it's not quite permanent because half of the trap could still be blocked so the condensate fluid will build up again.. wasn't too hard removing the trap (about 15 mins reading and 45 mins to do as my first time)... need a bit of common (engineering-type) sense to fill in the blanks in the manual you can find online (note that the logic combi ESPI model user guide that comes up first on Google is a different model).. will maybe post a video myself.. will definitely answer any questions fielded here.. thanks for this video.. Genuine person trying to help others (I'll get you a drink if you're ever in the neighbourhood), but that engineer.. ooohhhh.. I think he could have told you more but chose not to ;-)
also, the temporary fix should work with a blocked condensate pipe, just remember to have a breakfast size bowl ready :-) and if it is blocked with deposits like mine then you won't do any damage by poking something around in it to help unclog it.. Oh yeah and I reckon the grey deposits building up is more likely to be a cause if you haven't had your boiler serviced in the last few years as I assume the trap would be cleaned out as part of the service..
Thanks for sharing your experience in detail! I hope you have a very good knowledge of boilers and gas systems if not, please call out a Gas engineer. Your boiler's warranty may be void depending what you do to it.
0:45 in the video.. the condensate trap/syphon is the beige coloured container type thing you can see towards the bottom, in the centre.. it has fluid enter it through a black pipe at the top, and enters the first chamber in the trap (which can be emptied with plug on bottom of boiler) amd then enters the second chamber which is connected to the outward condensate pipe that comes out of the centre bottom of the boiler..
no warranty to worry about but you make an important point:

Sorry link is not pasting correctly, but Google 'who can legally work on gas appliances' for link to doc on above website with important info that should be read before attempting to remove any covers..
Thanks mate, in the end a simple reset fixed it but good to know I could have sorted the pipe problem easily
thanks for the upload. our boier stoped working and your video helped to sort the problem out

Thabk you so much......when my 2 plumbers failed me ....u are the greatest
No way. You simply saved me.
A huge thank you!
hi I have an L2 fault on my boiler. have been advised to defrost the condensation pipe which I have and boiler still won't reset. any more ideas?
Thank you for this video. i was able to fix my problem with your help through this video.
No cold night then! Glad it helped :-)
Saved my life. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video. We’ve just had the problem and you saved our money. Thanks again.
Glad it helped. I know the call out charges for a Gas engineer are more than £60+ VAT. And in a weather like this, getting a decent one to do the job itself is a challenge! Thanks for subscribing to the channel. Please browse through the Boiler playlist for other relevant DIY fixes - F1 being another common Ideal Combi error.
Thanks for the video, it worked. Great you saved me from getting Frozen. ❄️☃️😊👍🏼

Hi, woke up to a freezing house and the dreaded F2 error. The boiler in the house is housed above the washing machine and the boilers condensate pipe t-sections in to the washing machine effluent pipe. Occurred that effluent from the washing machine may be blocking the condensate pipe so ran a few kettles of hot water down the effluent pipe and a few minutes later we have heating again. Similar I guess to thawing out a condensate pipe but hope this helps....
Thanks for sharing your experience and debugging skills and glad it worked in the end. It could have also been water frozen from last night's laundry. As we all know the pipes behind the white goods are close to the exterior walls are prone to get cold far more easier than most parts of the house.
So, during severe cold days like these, it is advised to maintain the house temperature at least at 20 C. Assuming you have thermostat it will trip off when it reaches 20 C and save energy anyway.

Some reason Corgi Homecare would not cover my repair. An engineer would come round and fix the problem but a day or two later it will hit L2/F2. We have had two parts replaced. I'm considering getting a new boiler, a better model.
Cheers ! Solved my problem straight away
Can you tell me what the error code "P" means, had my yearly service yesterday and this is the error I'm getting I do have to reset pressure alot but they have said nothing is wrong with it, no gas leaks, no notable water leaks either
Hi there, looks "P" isn't a fault code but an operating code for Pre Heat mode. Please check the manual at goo.gl/xsJeew for more etails.
The most unreliable boiler ever. Fucking sick of cold water. Literally how hard is it to make a decent boiler that doesn't fuck up all the time
thank you pipes outside were frozen
Glad you liked it. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and browse through the Boiler playlist for other DIY fixes.
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much....very helpful!
Thank you very much very helpful video
Perfect, Thank you very much for this video
Thank you sooo much!! This actually works
thank you so much i just solved my boiler in exatly the same way as you showed me ,. 5*****
If a boiler has a
flame loss message
then you reset it then it makes a
kettling and banging noise
and seems to work ok when the noise goes away
But then it eventually goes to
A lockout message
is it safe to keep resetting it?
It will come on but then go back out later on is it safe to keep resetting or no?
Please help currently sitting in freezing cold!!????
Make sure the flue pipe is not frozen. It's extremely cold today. So if you have an external flue pipe it's likely that it's frozen.
If this keeps repeating, please call your insurance company (if you have a boiler cover) or your letting agent (if you are renting) or directly a reputed local plumber who can help.
Hope things get better at your end.
Ok so, in my area we are suffering huge snow storms, and my boiler violently vibrated and the heating shut off (was on at the time) it keeps saying L2 and F2, problem is, my boiler is on second floor and the pipe is hard to reach, I have no doubt thats why
Sorry to hear that Keiran. But from what it sounds like the pipe that let's out excess water is frozen. Isn't this connected to your sink? If you are unable to get it to it, don't bother doing a diy in this sort of weather and CA a gas engineer in your area or call your insurance company of your home is insured. Or simply your landlord / estate agent if you are renting the house.
Many boilers with the condesate connected like the one in the video is wrong, you should have an air gap, negative pressure causes the water not to flow and backs up in the sump
Mark Saha hi, I’ve reseted my boiler so many times today it now says ‘reset too many time’ do you know anything about what I should do please?
Hi Laura, what is the error you see on the screen? Also, when was the last time you got the boiler serviced?
Hi.
Thanks for this.
I tried it & in part it worked but I've got a new message....'0' now after doing this & now my hot water is running very slow & not heating. I do have a Magnetic cleaner (which I haven't cleaned in ages as forgot all about it -just about to do it now) if that helps with any advice you may give.
Thanks
Hi David, glad you found this video helpful. Is the "0" accompanied by an alphabet or is it just "0" - from the manual specified in the description, just "0" indicates that "The boiler is in standby mode awaiting either a central heating call or hot water demand." However if it is a "C 0" it indicates "BCC Activation Fault" and you should try and reset the boiler as I have shown in the video. If the issue persists, you should have a word with your Gas Engineer.
On a similar note, how old is your boiler and when was the last time you got it serviced?
Just so that you know, you can reset it by fully turning the "Mode" dial which is on the right clockwise and hold for a couple of seconds before you leave it. This should reset the boiler and should get rid of any random errors.
Nāga Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
It was an 'O' on it's own. The hot water had been shut off.
Hi David, did you try to reset the boiler like I have suggested above?
Thank you soooooo much!!
if it can be possible it's always good practice to leave an air break somewhere on the pipe run
So helpful thanks!!

In my boiler the condesate pipe comes goes straight in the gutter outside so it cant be blocked. dont know what to do
Clean the condensation trap
Hi, Thank you for uploading this video.Can you please advise where he found the pipe? Is it the one under the kitchen sink?
Hi Uzay, yes it usually comes at an angle and joins the sink pipe. This is true with this and similar models. I was told that some of the boilers have drains water outside house.
How often you have to drain that pipe?
I know I am stating the obvious but also it could be your gas supply which happened in my case !
Had a engineer out before and he couldn't find a fault. One before said that the earth wire wasn't connected to anything.
Sure, did you get it fixed in the end? If so what fixed it? Others would benefit from your experience :-)
I did have an engineer come round. Cleared the drain. Made sure nothing blocked the pipe. A diverter valve was put in once. A gas valve was replaced. Had a new heat exchanger put in many months ago. Corgi suggested power flushing.
You saved us 99 pounds ! Thank you :D

Will do ! Thank you for making these videos.
Pressing buttons and we can't even see what he's pressing - SO ANNOYING AND A WASTE OF TIME!!!
Try to manually increase the quality of your video and watch it on a bigger screen.
First of all ... You are encouraging people to meddle with an appliance which they are not qualified to do so. As soon as you take the cover of this boiler you are committing a crime.
The second part any decent tradesman will tell you it is really really annoying for a customer like you standing to be over there shoulder while doing a job.
Thanks for your valuable feedback but, honestly, you sound like a disgruntled tradesman who feels threatened by customers doing DIY fixes.
Secondly, no where in the video did I ask viewers to remove the boiler hood - I have only shown it to prove that my plumber friend removed it to examine the internals only to realise that fixing this issue doesn't need opening up the boiler, as the main issue with blockage of condensate pipe. And then taking the video - as mentioned above, he is a friend of mine and I took his consent before taking the video and I have given him the credit in the video too.
I did this 5 years ago when Ideal hardly offered any customer support, they wouldn't even take calls to their customer help line, leaving the customers in the hands of so called Gas/Boiler engineers who often rip off (not all, but some) the customers off for basic fixes like thawing a condensate pipe.
All that matters in the end is that this video has had almost 250K views and a ton of happy home owners and renters who either saved money or saved themselves from a cold night.
@@NagaYanamandala this guy is wrong, it is NOT a crime to remove the cover from your own boiler. you can work on your own, or anyone else's, boiler without being qualified. it only becomes illegal if you charge them money for it.
@@papalegba6759 thanks for that. In 3 years of the video, that was the first ever negative comment it received. Sure - the quick fix doesn't work for everyone, they usually vote down or ask a question. So, I was taken aback by that negative comment (there was one more the following day and I suspect its the same guy or his buddy)...so yeah, thanks for the legal stand on boiler DIY :-)
