F.468 - Burner in a fault state due to high ionization current

Viessmann · Vitodens 100-W Boiler

What does F.468 mean?

The boiler's burner has entered a fault state because the ionization current was too high during calibration. This can be caused by issues with the ionization electrode, or excessive dust in the ventilation air leading to deposits.

Common Causes

  • Ionization current too high during calibration
  • Incorrect gap between ionization electrode and flame body assembly
  • Dust in the ventilation air (e.g., from construction work)
  • Deposits on electrodes indicating foreign bodies in ventilation air
