Fault 14 - Ignition failure or gas supply issue

Viessmann · Vitodens 200 Boilers

What does 14 mean?

This fault indicates a problem with the boiler's ignition process or issues with the gas supply, especially common in new propane installations or after extended periods of inactivity.

Common Causes

  • Air in the gas line (specifically for LP)
  • Incorrect gas regulator or inlet gas pressure
  • Issues with ionization current or rod
  • Incorrect power supply polarity (L, N, G)
  • Problems with gas valve coils, orifice size, spark, or ignition transformer

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Extensively purge the gas line, especially for new propane installations or if the boiler has been off for a long time.

  2. 2

    Verify the gas regulator and the working inlet gas pressure (not static pressure).

  3. 3

    Check the ionization current and the gaps of the ionization rod.

  4. 4

    If comfortable, check the input voltage to the ionization rod (approx. 160-170 VAC to ground) and power supply polarity (L, N, G).

  5. 5

    If the issue persists, a professional should check the resistance of the gas valve coils and the spark/ignition transformer.
