Hi,

I have a Ferroni boiler model Falcon II Combi, and it is an old piece- approx 8 years old. I realized that during last days the burner keeps cutting out. What is mean by cutting out is that it starts to run for 1 min normally and the the flame cuts out. Boiler tries to restart itself 3-4 times and then go to lockout. When I switch on the boiler and restart it after an hour it picks up the normal functionality, for a day or two, and the the process begings again. Any idea what is the issue?

Hi Rob,

Ferroni boilers are not cheap, but fortunately pretty easy to fix. I would check if it is not an issue with flue, some stain or external flue pipe maybe. External flue pipe should be 50-60 mm long, not 10-30 (manual says from 10-30 mm). If you install a longer flue pipe, your boiler will work well under the bad (windy) weather too. By the way it may be the time when you start to think of replacing an old boiler with a new one. This one will start to break more and more often.
