F.464 — Burner in fault state: Low ionization current during calibration

Viessmann · Vitodens 100-W Boiler

What does F.464 mean?

The burner is in a fault state because the ionization current was too low during calibration, or the reading was implausible. This can affect flame detection and safety.

Common Causes

  • Faulty ionization electrode or connecting cable (loose contacts)
  • Excessive dust in the ventilation air (e.g., from construction work)
  • Flue gas recirculation
  • Condensate backup in the system
  • Faulty BCU burner control unit
