If your Heatline boiler has stopped working or shows an error code, you’re in the right place. This guide includes a full list of Heatline boiler fault codes, links to user manuals and installation instructions for various models.

Heatline is a long-established name in the UK boiler market and is now part of the Vaillant Group. Known as a budget-friendly option, Heatline boilers are typically compact, condensing combi boilers designed to provide affordable heating and hot water solutions. While they may not always receive the highest praise from heating engineers, many households rely on them for everyday use.

If you’re experiencing problems with your boiler, don’t worry — even the most reliable boiler brands can encounter faults over time. This page will help you identify what the fault code on your Heatline boiler means, giving you a better understanding of what might be wrong and what steps to take next.

Important: Always consult a qualified Gas Safe engineer for any boiler repairs. This guide is designed to help you better understand the issue, estimate potential repair costs, and decide whether a replacement boiler might be more cost-effective in the long run.

If your Heatline boiler is out of warranty and repair costs are stacking up, it may be worth considering a new, energy-efficient boiler. WarmZilla offers competitive pricing, flexible boiler finance options, and installations that include everything you need to get back up and running with peace of mind.

Check the table below for your Heatline boiler error code and see what it means.

Fault CodeDescriptionCauseSolution

F27Flame detection faultAbnormal flame signal• Check the flame detection electrode, igniter unit, and main board
F28Ignition faultNo/insufficient gas flow, faulty electrode or igniterNo return gas / Insufficient gas flow Gas valve incorrectly adjusted Defective firing electrode and flame control / Defective igniter unit
F29Flame loss during operationNo/insufficient gas flow, faulty electrode or igniterNo return gas / Insufficient gas flow Gas valve incorrectly adjusted Defective firing electrode and flame control / Defective igniter unit
F32Incorrect air pressureIncorrect fan speed• Check flue system and fan connections
F49EBUS voltage faultFault in EBUS line short circuit in EBUS connector• Check eBus control wiring
F61Main board faultGas valve command fault• Check the main boards connections. • Check the main board. • Check the appliance DSN number is correct. • Reset the appliance.
F62Gas valve closure faultGas valve command fault• Check the main boards connections. • Check the main board. • Check the appliance DSN number is correct. • Reset the appliance.
F63Main board memory faultFault in main board• Check the main boards connections. • Check the main board. • Check the appliance DSN number is correct. • Reset the appliance.
F64Fault in main boardRapid fluctuation of return or flow heating sensor• Check the main boards connections. • Check the main board. • Check the appliance DSN number is correct. • Reset the appliance.
F65Fault in main boardExcessive main board temperature• Check the main boards connections. • Check the main board. • Check the appliance DSN number is correct. • Reset the appliance.
F67Fault in main boardFlame signal fault in main board• Check the main boards connections. • Check the main board. • Check the appliance DSN number is correct. • Reset the appliance.
F68Flame signal fluctuationIncorrect gas flow / Ignition issue• Check the return gas circuit (gas valve open). • Check the observe the fl ame picture and check the CO2 setting. • Check the igniter unit connections. • Check the state of the electrode (corrosion).
F70User interface incompatible with main boardIncorrect product code• Check that the appliance DSN code on the screen matches the product code of the nameplate (in the event of a fault and the appliance DSN does not appear). • Check the board’s reference.
F71Flow heating temperature sensor faultFlow heating temperature sensor unclipped or defective (no temperature variation)• Check sensor and ensure it’s clipped
F72Permanent temperature difference between flow and return heating sensors.Mismatch between the flow and return heating temperatures (permanent difference)• Check and replace faulty sensors
F73Heating circuit pressure sensor faultSensor shorted/disconnected• Check the sensor’s connections • Check the sensor
