Intergas Boiler Error Code F007
With F007 the boiler measures no or too little ionisation current, so it cannot confirm the flame. Usually the ionisation electrode is worn or the wiring is damaged. Replacement is a job for an installer.
Applies to: Intergas Xtreme
Common causes
- Break or short circuit in the wiring of the ignition/ionisation electrode
- Worn or faulty ignition/ionisation electrode
What to check, in order
- Note the code and do not keep resetting the boiler.
- Only check the water pressure and whether the gas tap is open; do not open the boiler.
- Call a certified installer; in the Netherlands, work on a gas boiler is legally reserved to CO-certified companies.
Clear the code and test
- Fix what the checks above found first — pressure topped up, a radiator bled, the thermostat set right. Resetting without fixing the cause only brings the code back.
- Make sure the boiler has power and the gas tap at the boiler is open.
- If the water pressure is below 1.5 bar, top it up to between 1.5 and 2 bar with the filling loop, as your manual shows.
- Press the reset button once and watch a full cycle: the boiler should start, heat the radiators or the tap water, and keep running without the code coming back.
When to call a professional
This code usually points to a faulty part, wiring or the control board on a Intergas boiler. Run the checks above to rule out the simple causes, then book a technician — and book one straight away if any of these apply:
- The code comes back after you have run the checks and a test cycle.
- You smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, or the breaker trips.
- Water is leaking and you cannot stop it.
- The fix needs panels opened beyond what your manual describes, or a part tested with a meter, and you are not set up for that.
When you call, give the brand, the code F007, your model number (on a label on the type plate, usually at the bottom or on the side of the boiler) and the checks you already ran. It shortens the visit.
Repair or replace?
This fault is in professional territory: the fix usually means a major part or board-level work, and the labour adds up. If your machine is already well into its service life, get the repair quote first, then compare it with the price of a current equivalent model before you decide. Paying a large share of a new machine's price to repair an old one is rarely the better deal; replacing a machine over one cheap fault is wasteful too.
Parts that may be involved
Ignition/ionisation electrode
Parts are model-specific. Find your model number first — usually on a label on the type plate, usually at the bottom or on the side of the boiler — and match the part to that number before ordering.
Questions people ask about F007
What does F007 mean on a Intergas boiler?
F007 means: No or insufficient ionisation current: the flame is not detected properly. With F007 the boiler measures no or too little ionisation current, so it cannot confirm the flame. Usually the ionisation electrode is worn or the wiring is damaged. Replacement is a job for an installer.
Can I fix Intergas F007 myself?
Only the preliminary checks. Code F007 usually means a part, wiring or the control board has failed, which is a technician job. Run the checks to rule out simple causes before you book.
