Fault EA (Detailed 193) — Burner fault: ionization current deviation too great

Viessmann · Vitodens 200/222 Boilers

What does EA mean?

The burner is in fault mode because the ionization current measured during calibration shows a significant deviation from its previous normal level. This indicates an unstable or inconsistent flame detection.

Common Causes

  • The ionization current lies outside the permissible range during calibration (deviation from previous level too great)
