How to Reset Ideal Boiler
If you own an Ideal boiler, you might encounter a situation where it needs to be reset. Whether it’s due to a power cut, a fault code, or simply a glitch, resetting your Ideal boiler can often resolve the issue and get it up and running again. In this article, we will guide you through the process of resetting your Ideal boiler step by step.
Step 1: Turn Off the Power Supply
Before attempting to reset your Ideal boiler, it’s essential to turn off the power supply to ensure safety. Locate the power switch on the boiler, which is usually found on the front panel. Flip the switch to the “off” position to disconnect the power.
Step 2: Locate the Reset Button
Next, find the reset button on your Ideal boiler. This button is typically located on the front panel, near the power switch. It may be labeled “reset” or have a small circle with a line through it.
Step 3: Press and Hold the Reset Button
With the power switch turned off, press and hold the reset button for about 5-10 seconds. The reset button is designed to be pressed and held for a short period to initiate the reset process. It’s important not to press it for too long, as this may cause further issues.
Step 4: Release the Reset Button
After holding the reset button for the recommended time, release it. The boiler will now start the reset process. You may hear a series of beeps or see the display light up, indicating that the reset is in progress.
Step 5: Turn On the Power Supply
Once the reset process is complete, turn on the power supply to your Ideal boiler. Flip the power switch to the “on” position to reconnect the power. The boiler should now be reset and ready to operate.
Step 6: Check for Fault Codes
After resetting your Ideal boiler, it’s a good idea to check for any fault codes that may have been present before the reset. Fault codes can provide valuable information about the issue that occurred. Refer to the user manual or the Ideal boiler’s troubleshooting guide to interpret the fault codes and take appropriate action if necessary.
Conclusion
Resetting your Ideal boiler is a relatively simple process that can often resolve common issues. By following these steps, you can safely reset your boiler and get it back up and running in no time. However, if the problem persists or you’re unsure about performing the reset yourself, it’s always best to consult a professional plumber or contact Ideal customer support for assistance.
