F4 fault with Vizo Plus 24. Not condensation tube as this was changed to new tube with sensors on ''blue plug'' by engineer last year when I called them out for re-curring F4 fault - new sensors are bone dry. Have re-set boiler and it tries to fire up four times before displaying fault, but appears to be no ignition clicking, and therefore no flame. Gas supply is good.

Hi, if the ignition module fires or tries to fire 4 times, this indicates the module is faulty and locks out for safety reasons because of an internal fault.The f-4 code sounds like the pressure switch was open due to condensation not letting it fire up, so the switch was ok, so they changed out the tubing. When you re-set the boiler control module, it locks out due to a internal fault. Change it out and you will be back up and running. The electrodes from the module will cause this as they come from the module. Make sure the condensate trap has no blockage at all as this can cause this problem. I am not guessing, I would replace the boiler module control that you have been re-setting. Keep me posted,
Sincerely,
Shastalaker7

Code F4 5 LED lights on a Hotpoint condenser tumble dryer

The F4 error code and 5 LED lights on a Hotpoint condenser tumble dryer typically indicate a problem with the moisture sensor or the condenser unit. The moisture sensor is responsible for detecting the amount of moisture in the drum and the condenser unit is responsible for removing the moisture from the air.
To troubleshoot this problem, you can try the following:
  1. Clean the condenser unit: remove any lint or debris that may have accumulated in the condenser unit. Make sure the condenser unit is clean and free of blockages.
  2. Check the moisture sensor: the sensor may be clogged or not working properly. Clean the sensor and make sure it is connected securely.
  3. Check the air flow: make sure that the air flow to the condenser unit is not blocked.
  4. Check the drain hose: make sure the drain hose is not clogged or kinked, and that the water is draining properly.
  5. Check the water container: make sure the water container is empty and not overfull.
  6. If the problem persists, it is recommended to consult a professional technician to check the dryer or contact the Hotpoint customer service for assistance.
It is important to note that these instructions may vary depending on the dryer model, so it is best to consult the user manual for specific instructions.

F4 ...fault indication ?..I clean the lint filter and the condenser regularly but the Asko dryer model 7704 will not start with F4 flashing.. Please advise.. Thank you

Unsure if your model has a front housing to be checked.

- Check ductwork for lint build-up
- Check hi-limit and cycling thermostat
- Check heating element F3 Thermistor fault - Open thermistor, replace
- Bad wiring to thermistor F4 Too much lint in the lint filter, front housing, or in the condenser Clean lint from lint filter and/or condenser F5 Fault in the moisture sensor - Lint covering sensor in front of housing

Stalling issue?

This sounds like the idle control valve or stepper motor as it's sometimes called needing a good clean out or replacement. When faulty this would cause all the symptoms you are describing.

Need to decrease pressure on a heatline plus 24 vizo? any ideas? also leaking small amount of water under boiler!

There is a pressure adjustment on the gas valve...make sure you set it with a manometer. If the water is just condensate, its ok except if you don't have enough combustion air for the btu rating of the water heater. If it is a leak, replace the water heater

Intermitent lose of power ( as if starved of fuel) Have changed Lamda sensor?

Hello
The engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM
One last comment, defective Oxygen sensors will not cause a loss of power, NEVER, they are just reading a symptom of the problem, they are not the problem, 35 years of experience tells me that.

I have a 2004 Mercury sable 24 valve. It sputters and now it will cut off when I try to accelerate.

When was last fuel filter change? For that matter when was last tune up? Seriously, sounds like fuel filter, especially this time of year. With big temperature swings condensation (water) forms in fuel tank. Run a bottle of STP gas treatment through it then change fuel filter.

Intermittent F4 fault code

John , these models use a self-resetting, disc type thermal cut out in the sensor circuit. The normally open disc is wired in parallel with the sensor. When tripped, the thermal cut out shorts the sensor circuit resulting in an F4 failure code. Since you are reading the proper ohms in the sensor I believe you are ok there. They do have a kit WB24K5048 to correct this problem. The kit contains a higher rated thermal cut out, an insulation barrier and instructions. Catriver...post back.
