Ionisation problem on Heatline Solaris boiler, code F4?
We have a 2 year old Heatline bolier which has come up with the fault F4, an ionisation problem causing the bolier to completely shut down. My plumber cannot fix this and Heatline's technical support is shut at weekends. Does anyone know whether this would just be a replacement part needed?
Nillu is 100% right. Follow his instruction and your boiler will work again. I have just fixed mine. The fault code is wrong for me. Nothing about ionisation. I think is ignition problem.
All you need a screwdriver and a little sandpaper to clean the electrodes. Should be 10-15 mm gap between them.

I got the same boiler and same fault! What you need to do is change the boiler nothing but problems!

i had same problem. if u r ok with some d.i.y then try removing the probe and slightly widen the gap between the 2 prongs. this will give a bigger spark and should fix the fault

not sure of the terminology "ionisation", is the boiler failing to stay alight, i.e lighting for 10 secs or less then locking out? If so could be a loose connex inside to the electrodes near the burner, or mis placed loose electrode. You are in "corgi" territory I think!
