Sime
Fault Codes

Listed below are the common Sime fault codes as described by the boiler manufacturer along with a possible cause.

AL 02 Low water pressure in system
Restore pressure
Check for any leaks in the system
AL 03 High water pressure in system
Empty the system via the drain valve on the
Hydraulic assembly and bring the pressure to approximately 1.2 bar
AL 04 Domestic hot water sensor (SS) fault
Check connections
Replace the sensor
AL 05 Delivery sensor (SM) fault
Check connections
Replace the sensor
AL 06 No flame detection
Check the integrity of the electrode and
Check that it is not grounded
Check gas availability and pressure
Check the operation of the gas valve
AL 07 Safety thermostat (TS) intervention
Check the sensor or thermostat connections
Deaerate the system
Check the bleed valve
Replace the sensor or the thermostat
Check that the pump impeller is not blocked
AL 08 Fault in the flame detection circuit
