    Hello, I have a problem with the De Dietrich MS 24 MI FF boiler. The error e01 is displayed (in the service manual, the blockade due to lack of start-up) is displayed after 3-4 firings lasting 20 seconds each, i.e. after about a minute from starting the boiler in CH or HUW mode. I checked the 9kOhm CO thermistor on the hot pipe, pressure switch (turned on by the fan), thermal fuses, flow sensor, three-way valve, ignition electrode (no ionization), capacitors on the module, the module itself (no burnt elements). Please let me know what else could be the reason?

    Furnace manual, fig. 17, or?
    The impeller of the pump is not seized in connection with the filters, (fig. 17, points 6 and 9)
    The water pressure on the manometer is 0.5 - 1 bar! pt. 5
    The contacts of the hydraulic water pressure switch are ok! pt. 13
    Safety thermostat jt. Approx! pt. 21
    The pump is vented! pt. 1

    Check if the phase is on the right side, check if there is gas, if the flame lights up and goes out?, if it lights up and goes out, clean the electrode which is both ignition and ionization. If after replacing the electrode and the cable (check if it has come out of the board) it still goes out, the board needs to be replaced. Luckily parts are cheap.

    Thank you ROWE for your post #2 20 Mar 2019 18:40. I answer below:

    The pump impeller is NOT seized. When you unscrew the bleed screw, you can see that it rotates.
    I haven't checked the filters. Still.
    By the way, I forgot to add that the boiler fires up, and the display then shows numbers increasing from the current CH water temperature up to 40. Then the boiler goes out and re-ignitions. Do this 3-4-5 times and E01 appears.
    ROWE wrote:
    The water pressure on the manometer is 0.5 - 1 bar! pt. 5

    Hmm, I take it that's not the case? The desired pressure value is, quoted in the manual on page 4, "when the system is cold, it is 0.7 - 1.5 bar"?
    ROWE wrote:
    The contacts of the hydraulic water pressure switch are ok! pt. 13

    Yes. The water pressure sensor has short-circuited contacts, i.e. the central heating pressure is above the minimum, the contacts are not tarnished, not rusty, unobstructed.
    ROWE wrote:
    Safety thermostat jt. Approx! pt. 21

    Yes. The contacts are closed all the time.
    ROWE wrote:
    The pump is vented! pt. 1

    Yes.

    I have already done. As I wrote in the first post, this boiler does not have an ionization electrode.

    So there are still filters or the motherboard to be replaced!
    (I think you checked the fan and pressure switch issues)
    Sometimes the pumps have an additional metal mesh filter just behind the turbine. To get there you need to unscrew 2 or 4 screws from the face of the pump.
    After many years of pump operation, it is not cleaned and forms a wall for water. I don't know if it's in the oven!

    For the sake of clarification, first of all it has an ignition - ionization electrode (two in one).

    Thank you Dobroslaw for your post #3 20 Mar 2019 20:55. Below I answer:

    dobroslaw wrote:
    Check if the phase is on the right side,

    I will check. I take it it's supposed to be on the left? The boiler has been plugged into the same socket for 5-8 years.
    dobroslaw wrote:
    check if there is gas, does the flame ignite and go out?,

    Yes, there is gas, the flame ignites and goes out.
    dobroslaw wrote:

    I cleaned it.
    dobroslaw wrote:

    The electrode and lead are fine. The wire is plugged into the board. Yet it still fades away.

    I do not know how much a new electronic module for this boiler is. If you are able to log on to reklamowa.dedietrich.pl, please tell me how much the module costs.

    If so, it's hard. But I try not to be a part exchanger, especially modules, if there is no need.

    ROWE wrote:

    Yes. The pressure switch is open when the fan is off and closed when the fan is on.

    I have the same principle, i.e. extremes that should be excluded to the end!

    You do not need to log in to the store to know the parts electrode PLN 29 cable 11 usually works after replacement and the most common reason only to replace the electrode, unfortunately, you have to pull out the burners and with it a bit of work. there was a development boiler, cheap and cheap parts and the board was most often in it, it happened that the new one also lived for a short time, so it's better to order a service, you will have guarantees. As for the phase, it should be brown :P

    Yes, I managed. In my case, however, someone switched the power supply of the boiler to another socket, where the phases were changed. After plugging into a good socket, the boiler started.

    Thanks to @dobrosław and @ROWE for their help. Sorry for the late reply, but I forgot.

Topic summary

✨ The De Dietrich MS 24 MI FF boiler is experiencing an E01 error after 3-4 firings, indicating a blockage due to lack of start-up. The user has checked several components including the CO thermistor, pressure switch, thermal fuses, flow sensor, three-way valve, and ignition electrode, but the issue persists. Suggestions from the forum include checking the pump impeller, filters, and ensuring proper gas supply and electrical connections. The user confirmed that the pump is functioning and the pressure is within the specified range. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by correcting the power supply connection, which had been incorrectly wired, affecting the boiler's operation.

FAQ

TL;DR: To fix De Dietrich MS 24 MI FF E01, start with phase and ignition checks; the electrode is PLN 29. "Phase should be brown" on L. Many E01 cases clear after correcting polarity and cleaning the electrode. [Elektroda, dobroslaw, post #17862484]

Why it matters: Fast checks can restore heating and hot water without costly board replacement.

Quick Facts

What does E01 mean on a De Dietrich MS 24 MI FF?

E01 signals a start-up lockout. The boiler attempts ignition, fails to confirm correct start, and then blocks operation. Users report E01 appearing after several short ignition attempts. Address ignition detection and power polarity before assuming major faults. [Elektroda, wojtek__, post #17855599]

Why does my boiler ignite a few times then lock out with E01?

A common pattern is 3–5 firing attempts, then E01. The control tries to start, fails recognition, and locks out. This often reflects ignition detection, wiring polarity, or related issues. Check other answers here for phase, electrode, and sensor checks. [Elektroda, wojtek__, post #17856952]

Could reversed phase (polarity) cause E01 on this model?

Yes. In the thread case, the boiler was on a socket with swapped phase. Connecting it to a correct socket restored normal operation. Polarity matters for flame detection and controls on many boilers. [Elektroda, wojtek__, post #17947583]

How do I check and correct phase orientation on the boiler?

Confirm the brown conductor goes to terminal “L” at the boiler. If using a plug, align phase correctly at the socket.
  1. Isolate power and access the terminal block.
  2. Ensure brown wire is on “L”.
  3. Restore power or rotate the plug to correct polarity. [Elektroda, ROWE, post #17862579]

What system pressure should I maintain when the system is cold?

Use the manual’s guidance: approx. 0.7–1.5 bar when cold. Set near the middle of that range for stability. Low pressure can inhibit circulation and disrupt ignition cycles. Top up the loop carefully and bleed air as needed. [Elektroda, wojtek__, post #17856952]

Does this boiler have a separate ionization electrode?

No. It uses a single combined ignition–ionization electrode. "It has an ignition - ionization electrode (two in one)." Keep this assembly clean and properly gapped during service. Replace if worn or cracked. [Elektroda, ROWE, post #17856963]

How do I clean or replace the ignition/ionization electrode, and what does it cost?

Power off, remove the burner assembly, then access the combined electrode. Clean deposits or replace the part. Shared costs: electrode ~PLN 29 and cable ~PLN 11. Replacement often restores stable flame detection. There is some labor pulling the burners. [Elektroda, dobroslaw, post #17862484]

What should I check before assuming the control board is bad?

Check pump flow and filters, including any fine mesh screen behind the pump face. Verify fan operation and that the air pressure switch changes state. Inspect and clean the ignition–ionization electrode. Replace only after these checks. [Elektroda, ROWE, post #17856963]

What does the air pressure switch do, and how can I tell it works?

It verifies fan-induced airflow. With the fan off, the switch is open. With the fan on, the switch closes. You can observe this at the contacts during a start cycle. Incorrect state suggests venting or switch issues. [Elektroda, wojtek__, post #17856984]

The flame lights but goes out—what should I do?

Verify the phase is on the correct side and that gas supply is present. Clean or replace the combined electrode and its cable. "If after replacing the electrode and the cable it still goes out, the board needs to be replaced." [Elektroda, dobroslaw, post #17856350]

Are control boards on this model reliable, and should I call service?

Parts are inexpensive, but boards were a common failure reported. An edge case noted that new boards sometimes had short lifespans. Ordering authorized service provides warranty on parts and labor. That reduces repeat failures risk. [Elektroda, dobroslaw, post #17862484]

How was the original poster’s E01 issue resolved?

They found the boiler had been moved to a socket with reversed phase. Plugging into a socket with correct phase restored operation. This confirms polarity checks should be early in troubleshooting. [Elektroda, wojtek__, post #17947583]

Could clogged pump or filters mimic ignition faults and trigger E01?

Restricted flow can cause short firing, temperature spikes, and protective shutdowns. Check strainers and any metal mesh filter behind the pump face. Clean debris that forms a water barrier over time. Restore flow before deeper electronics work. [Elektroda, ROWE, post #17856963]

Which wire color is the phase on the boiler’s L terminal?

Brown is the phase conductor. It should land on the “L” terminal in the boiler’s connection block. Correct color-to-terminal mapping aids polarity-sensitive ignition control. Confirm before further diagnostics. [Elektroda, ROWE, post #17862579]
