How to reset an Ideal boiler

Ideal are one of the many boiler brands supported by National Boiler Spares. As such, we possess a deep understanding of how they work and where they can go wrong. Completing a boiler reset is crucial to analysing the severity of any issues your system is experiencing. In this blog, you’ll learn the step-by-step process of resetting an Ideal boiler in your home. 

When should I reset my boiler? 

A boiler reset is often recommended when the system fails to perform its regular function. If you notice a loss of central heating or hot water from taps, first check the pressure readings and power supply. If both of these are normal, resetting the boiler can be a route to restoring proper working.  

While the Ideal range of boilers have a history of reliability, some issues can arise that warrant a greater response than a reset. In this case, Ideal boiler spare parts can be sourced to replace any faulty and defective parts responsible for the problem. 

The process of resetting an Ideal boiler 

Step 1 – locate the reset button 

Every brand of boiler has a slightly different layout, both internally and externally. Variations are also present between different types of Ideal boiler, with some having dials and knobs are starting the process. 

Step 2 – Initiate the reset

• Logic – turn the control knob to the reset position as indicated around the outside, then immediately turn the knob to any setting of your choice. 
• Logic+ – press the reset button which is located under the digital display screen. 
• Esprit Eco 2 – starting the reset requires the simultaneous pressing of the up arrow and the select button on the control pad. Hold both down for 2 seconds. 
• Vogue Max – as with the Logic+, simply press the reset button which can be found underneath the digital display. 

Step 3 – Check to confirm reset 

A successful boiler reset should result in the flame being reignited and normal operations resuming. You should also see that any boiler error codes that were present before the reset have now disappeared. The boiler reset process typically takes 2-3 minutes. To avoid causing additional problems, avoid pressing the reset controls for at least 5 minutes after the first attempt.
