| F.33 (837/637 Only) | Main heat exchanger anti-freeze protection mode due to no switching signal from the air pressure switch. | Check air pressure switch, fan, fan supply or flue system. |
| F.37 defect (837/637 Only) | The rotary speed of the fan is too high or too low | Air pressure switch defect; fan defect; electronics |
| F.41 (837/637 Only) | No setting for the type of gas is stored | Set gas type in PCB (see page 30 manufactures instructions) |
| F.42 | Faulty cable loom | Faulty or incorrect loom fitted |
| F.43 | Faulty cable loom | Faulty or incorrect loom fitted |
| F.60 | Gas valve control defective | Wiring loom (connects gas valve) might have short-circuited, gas valve assembly defective or electronic control system issue. |
| F.61 | Gas valve control defective | Wiring loom (connects gas valve) might have short-circuited, gas valve assembly defective or electronic control system issue. |
| F.62 | Flame rectification present 4 secs. after gas valve turns off. Defective gas valve closure mechanism | Check gas valve, burner tubes and injectors or electronics defect |
| F.63 | EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) error | EMC or Electronic fault. |
| F.64 | Electronic system or sensor fault | Flow or backflow NTC has short-circuited, or an electronic fault |
| F.65 | Electronic system temperature too high | This can happen because of an external heat source or an electrical fault |
| F.67 | Electronic fault in the flame system | Electronics defect |
