My mother has this boiler - IDEAL icos M3080.
Periodically it fires for a few minutes and then flames fail with the error code - I think she said L/F came up on the display (for flame detection problem.)
Sometimes reset or off/on works, but often not.
She has had the repair man round 8 or 9 times. I believe he has replaced the flame detector and 1/both thermistors.
I don't think he's replaced the PCB.
He asked Ideal and they got him to check the condensate trap - which he didn't think there was a problem with.
He never actually knows how he's got it going again, and now he can't. Ideal won't offer more advice or send anyone out (they say they're too busy and only do warranty work.)
Any suggestions whatsoever??
Thanks for any help.
