Keston Appliance Repair in Brinnington & Stockport Central

What does error E05 mean on a Keston C36 boiler?

Error E05 on a Keston C36 boiler indicates fan failure - the boiler cannot detect fan rotation. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to check the fan operation and wiring connections.

What does error E02 mean on a Keston C36 boiler?

Error E02 on a Keston C36 boiler indicates false flame detection - the boiler is detecting a flame signal before ignition has started. This requires a Gas Safe registered engineer to check the power supply polarity and flame sensing electrode.

What does error E37 mean on a Keston C36 boiler?

Error E37 on a Keston C36 boiler indicates low water pressure. Use the filling loop to repressurise the system to approximately 1.2 bar. If pressure drops repeatedly, check for leaks and contact an engineer.

What does error E40 mean on a Keston C36 boiler?

Error E40 on a Keston C36 boiler indicates high water pressure. Check that the filling loop is closed. If necessary, bleed a small amount of water from a radiator. If pressure continues to rise during heating, contact an engineer to check the expansion vessel.

What does error E01 mean on a Keston C36 boiler?

Error E01 on a Keston C36 boiler indicates ignition failure - the boiler has attempted to ignite five times without success. If you smell gas, do not operate any switches or appliances, ventilate the area if safe to do so, evacuate the property, and call the gas emergency services from outside. Otherwise, check that your gas supply is on and try resetting the boiler. If the error persists, contact a Gas Safe registered engineer.

How do I adjust the hot water temperature on my Keston combi boiler?

On Keston combi boilers, the domestic hot water temperature is adjusted using the hot water temperature knob on the control panel. The temperature can be set between approximately 40 and 65 degrees Celsius. A setting of 50 to 55 degrees is recommended for safety, as this prevents scalding while being hot enough to prevent bacterial growth.

How do I prepare my Keston boiler for winter?

Run the boiler and radiators at maximum temperature for approximately 15 minutes to identify any problems. Check visually for signs of damage, leaks, or loose connections. Bleed your radiators to release trapped air. Check the pressure gauge and repressurise if below 1.0 bar. Insulate exposed condensate pipework to prevent freezing.

Where do I find the serial number on my Keston boiler?

The serial number on a Keston boiler is typically found on the rating plate, which is usually located inside the front panel or underneath the boiler. The serial number is needed for warranty registration and when ordering spare parts. If you have the original service book, the serial number should also be recorded there.

How can I save on energy bills with my Keston boiler?

Schedule an annual service to maintain peak efficiency. Keep the boiler pressure correct and bleed radiators regularly. Use programmable or smart thermostats to avoid heating when the home is empty. Turn radiators down or off in rooms that are rarely used. Consider lowering the flow temperature on modern condensing boilers.

Why are my radiators cold when my Keston boiler is running?

The most common causes are low boiler pressure, trapped air in the radiators, stuck thermostatic radiator valves, a faulty circulation pump, or sludge buildup. Check the pressure gauge first and repressurise if below 1.0 bar. Then try bleeding the radiators to release trapped air.
