Immergas 08 on a gas boiler: available resets used up
Risk level
High
Professional inspection is recommended.
Urgency
High
Quick answer
Immergas 08 means the 5 consecutive resets the boiler allows have been used, and it will not reset for one hour. Before trying again, check which code kept repeating and that the gas tap is open.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- If you smell gas: Immergas says to close the meter or main gas tap and, if you can, the boiler's gas tap, open doors and windows, use no naked flames, do not smoke and do not touch switches, sockets, doorbells or phones. Leave the home and call your gas distributor's emergency number from the street.
- If you get a headache, dizziness or nausea while the boiler runs, there may be carbon monoxide: switch it off, ventilate, leave the home and call the emergency services. A CO alarm near the boiler warns you before symptoms start.
- Do not chain resets or power cycles to get past 08: Immergas limits resets because the same lockout keeps repeating. If it returns after one attempt, the boiler needs a technician.
Safe checks you can perform
- Code that repeated before 08
- Gas tap open
- Flue terminal from outside
- A single retry after switching off and on
- Original lockout check by the technician
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Reading the fault history

What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Reading the fault history
What they doReads the fault list to see which code repeated before 08 and how many times.
They must show youthe list with the original code.
In writingthat code and its cause.
Gas pressure and inlet tap
What they doChecks that there is pressure in the gas supply and that the gas inlet tap to the boiler is open, as Immergas asks for repeated ignition lockouts.
They must show youthe gas pressure measured against the manufacturer's specification.
In writingthe measured value.
Condensate drain
What they doClears the condensate drain and checks that condensate has not affected the combustion components, the fan or the gas valve.
They must show youthe trap and pipe clear.
In writingwhat was found and what was cleaned or replaced.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Code that repeated before 08
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- on the Victrix Omnia V2, press the information button for at least 1 second and go to d 0.9; on the Victrix Superior, go to MENU, Fault log, Boiler.
- Result that matters:
- which code repeated before 08 and how often.
- If 01, 02, 03 or another lockout repeats:
- that is the fault the technician must check.
- If there are several different codes:
- note them all in order.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the list, with date and time if your model shows them.

Gas tap open
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- without removing anything, check that the gas shut-off tap before the boiler is open, as Immergas says for starting it. Also check whether the hob or another gas appliance works.
- Result that matters:
- whether gas is reaching the boiler.
- If the tap was closed:
- open it and try a single ignition.
- If the tap was open and there is no gas in the home:
- call your gas distributor.
- Evidence to keep:
- the time and the position of the tap.

Flue terminal from outside
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- from outside or from the ground, look at the air intake and flue terminal. Immergas asks for a check that it is not blocked. Do not remove or touch the ducts.
- Result that matters:
- whether anything is covering the terminal, such as leaves, a nest or ice.
- If it is blocked:
- do not clear it yourself unless you can reach it safely; tell the technician.
- If it is clear:
- go to the next check.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the terminal.

A single retry after switching off and on
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- Immergas says that switching the appliance off and on again restores the 5 attempts. Do this once only, after the checks above.
- Result that matters:
- whether the boiler lights and keeps running or the lockout returns.
- If it lights and the lockout does not return:
- note the date and time and keep an eye on it.
- If the lockout returns:
- stop resetting and call an authorised company.
- Evidence to keep:
- the code that comes back and the time.

Original lockout check by the technician
- Who:
- technician from an authorised company.
- How:
- reads the fault history and checks the gas supply pressure, the condensate drain and the code that led to the resets.
- Result that matters:
- which lockout kept repeating and why.
- If gas was short or the drain was blocked:
- corrects it and checks whether condensate affected the combustion parts, the fan or the gas valve.
- If the cause is another code:
- follows the Immergas table for that code.
- Evidence to keep:
- a job sheet with the original code and the repair.
Immergas says that in case of a fault the user should disconnect the appliance and call an authorised company, without attempting repairs.

What it means
On the Victrix Omnia V2 and Victrix Superior 26-35, code 08 means the available resets have been used. Immergas allows a fault to be reset 5 times in a row; after that it cannot be reset for one hour, and then ignition can be tried every hour, up to 5 attempts. Switching the appliance off and on again restores the 5 attempts. 08 is not a fault in itself: it shows that another lockout has kept repeating. For repeated ignition lockouts, Immergas names lack of gas and a blocked condensate drain.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- A lockout that keeps repeatingCommon
08 appears after a lockout has been reset several times, for example 01 failed ignition. The real cause is that earlier code, which is stored in the fault list.

- No gas reaching the boilerPossible
For repeated ignition lockouts, Immergas asks for a check that there is pressure in the gas supply and that the gas inlet tap to the boiler is open.

- Blocked condensate drainPossible
Immergas names a blocked condensate drain as a cause of 01 and of repeated ignition lockouts. The technician must clear it and check whether condensate has affected other parts.
