We are sure that you are not a fan of unforeseen expenses. And, for sure, you do not want to change a completely new boiler due to an unresolved problem in time. Meanwhile, malfunctions appear even for devices that work the first day. In the article, we wrote about the mistakes of gas boilers Kiturami and their codes. Read it. Even if you do not have heating equipment of this brand, it is better to learn more about it - you will understand whether it is worth buying it in the future.
You will learn to recognize Kiturami boiler errors. You will find out what causes them, in addition to the main reasons. For convenience, we filed their codes in ascending order. Immediately after them, the remaining failures and malfunctions that do not have codes were indicated. Read the article and you will know how to act in the event of a malfunction.
Boiler errors are determined through codes. They differ from manufacturers. On the Kiturami devices, combinations of numbers from 01 to 98 pop up. The decryption is the same for all boilers of this brand that run on gas. They can differ only because of the names of individual modules.
Gas boilers Kiturami
Kiturami has been making boilers since 1962 and daily produces up to 9,000 units. Kiturami manufactures gas, diesel, and solid pellet appliances. Gas boilers are made for fuel in accordance with GOST 5542-2014.
Most products of the South Korean manufacturer have a dual-circuit structure, a closed combustion chamber and they are fully automated. The efficiency of devices reaches 94%.
Kiturami uses low-carbon technology, equips its boilers with a large number of fuses and sensors, makes compact and perfect internal designs
Popular models of gas boilers Kiturami:
- World Plus
- Eco Condensing
- TGB
- KSG;
- World Alpha
- Twin Alpha;
- World 3000;
- World 5000.
The power of Kiturami boilers reaches 465 kW, while for wall-mounted models it is in the range 13–35 kW. Their turbo-cyclone burners operate at low pressure - about 30 mm air column. Each type of fuel has its own burner models that are capable of working on the same boiler.
Kiturami appliances have protection against freezing and blowing out of the chimney. The heat exchangers in World Plus devices maintain quality with long-term use of hard water.
Gas boilers Kiturami serve up to 15 years and more, a lot depends on the conditions of use. Devices give errors with simple numbering - from 01 or from Er 01. Read about them to quickly fix problems and keep the device in working order.
Error Codes 01 - 08
Errors from 01 to 03 indicate that the control system does not see the flame or blocked the ignition - in advance or after starting.
Errors 01, 02 and 03 often appear due to a closed valve - open it and restart the device, at the same time check the boiler's air supply
Code 01 - no flame. Follow the steps in the list, and if nothing changes, go on to the points below:
- Open the gas tap to the maximum.
- Bleed the air from the heating system.
- Inspect the ground. The wire could have lost its integrity, or it was laid incorrectly. Re-ground to a depth of 30 cm or more.
- Compare the gas pressure in the boiler with the indicator in the instructions. If there is a discrepancy, call gas specialists.
- Check the integrity of the ignition wire and its power source.
- Eliminate soot and dirt from the boiler burner.
- Also clean the ignition and control electrodes. They are going to soot and soot. Set the electrodes in the correct position according to the instructions if the tilt has changed. Check if they work at all.
- Ensure that the gas valve and photocell of the flame detection system are working. Replace items with new ones if necessary.
- Check the circuit board, connections, and wires that are suitable for it. Replace if necessary.
Code 02 - a false flame or its defect. Check and, if necessary, replace the photocell of the flame monitoring system.Replace the board if it is broken and cannot be repaired.
Check it for oxidation, open circuit, short circuit. Due to burner nozzles, the electrodes could become dirty. Clean them and put them in the correct position.
Code 03 - the flame appears and disappears within a short time. Ring the flame sensor and replace the faulty device. Check the pressure on the pressure gauge. Contact the gas service if the indicator is outside the norm.

The problem may be in ventilation. Open windows and doors, inspect the built-in ventilation channels of the room. The error remains - check the external condition of the boiler fan and determine the resistance with a multimeter. The device could break. Also look into the chimney and remove any dirt.
Code 04 - The temperature sensor of the heating element is not working properly. Inspect the wires suitable for the sensor. Connect the torn wires and strip the oxidized contacts. Ring the sensor for an open or short circuit. Inspect the control board. If something happens, contact the service where they are professionally repairing gas boilers of the Kiturami brand - they are repaired in many services in Russian cities. Replace these nodes if necessary.
Code 05 - breakdown of the overheating sensor. Call the seismic sensor if it is in your boiler. Replace if necessary, but do not clean. Check also the overheating indicator itself. Determine the pressure in the system and add water if the rate drops. Take a look at the heat exchanger. If there is excess scale, clean the assembly.
Code 06 - a malfunction in the fan - it is not possible to determine its speed.

To fix the error, you will need to take seven steps:
- Inspect the wires that go to the fan. Strip if oxidized. Repair broken contacts.
- Assess the condition of the fan blades. In case of noticeable wear, buy a new device.
- If the differential relay connections stick (including after sticking), replace the unit.
- Make sure that the mains voltage matches the desired value. If not, install a transformer and an uninterruptible power supply.
- Free the chimney from everything else.
- Inspect the fan rotation mechanism.
- Check Hall sensor.
Replace all unsuitable components.
Code 07 - problems with the chimney. The likely cause is that the fan / supercharger speed is above or below normal. Inspect the unit, remove foreign objects. At the same time clean the chimney from dirt and condensation.
An error pops up due to gusts of wind. If the problem appears often, you will have to change the pattern of the pipe. You need to design taking into account the wind rose.
Remote control CTR thermostats come with many boiler models Kiturami, which facilitate the regulation of room temperature and allow you to set the operating time
Code 08 - a problem with the room temperature controller. An error appears when communication with the boiler control unit is interrupted. Code 08 will pop up if the regulator wire is longer than 10 meters. The temperature controller cables are sometimes affected by telephone and high voltage wires.
First of all, turn off the regulator and check the operation of the boiler. If all is well, try first finding a different place for the thermostat and turn it on again. Route the temperature sensor cable again and correctly if nothing has changed. Avoid placing in pipes under the floor.
Error Codes 14 - 98
Let's start with similar errors - 14 and 34.
Code 14 - malfunction of the hot water outlet temperature meter. Look for a problem in the sensor itself and its wire.
Code 34 - an error of the same plan regarding the temperature sensor for hot water inlet
After the failure of the DHW sensor (hot water supply), the boiler will continue to heat the housing, and regulation and maintenance of the temperature of the running water becomes impossible
Code 95 - indicates a low pressure in the boiler / heating system, i.e. lack of coolant (usually water).
Proceed as follows:
- See if there is water in the boiler and what pressure is in the heating circuit.
- Check and clean the filters if necessary.
- Look for leaks in the heating pipes and radiators. Then, in the expansion tank and heat exchanger, repair leaks.
- Take a look at the expansion tank membrane. Replace if stretched or too dirty.
- Add water to normal pressure.
- Inspect and repair the air valve on the pipe through which the coolant enters the heating system.
Code 96 - the temperature indicator went off. The temperature rose above the permissible 92 ... 97 ° C. The boiler will operate in emergency mode until the temperature drops. When the error disappears, restart the device.
Eliminate the cause of the temperature jump:
- Scale the heat exchanger.
- Check and if necessary replace the circulation pump.
- Ring the thermostat. Buy a new one if repair is not possible.
- Do the same with the board.
Code 97 - possible gas leakage. Near the burner natural gas could escape. Stop the gas supply to the boiler and turn it off. Call the gas emergency service. Error 97 may also appear due to the fact that air has accumulated in the system.

Code 98 pops up on liquid fuel appliances. Indicates an insufficient level of energy in the fuel tank.
Problems in the operation of Kiturami boilers
Not all problems have their own code, so we will consider them separately.
Indicator is off "Network" - Check the power at the outlet and the fuse on the ignition transformer. If there is no voltage in the mains, call an electrician; if there is, call a service representative.
The insufficient water indicator on the control unit is on - there is no water in the device or the level is too low. Damage to the black boiler wire and the red sensor cable also leads to a malfunction.
The room temperature sensor works fine, but the radiators are cold - the circulation pump does not accelerate the coolant through the pipes or does it too weakly. Inspect the shut-off parts on the heating pipes. Check the pump itself.
The light comes on "Overheat" - The heating system is not working properly. Check her out.
If the problem persists, do the following:
- Set the stop valves on the heating pipes.
- The strainer may need to be cleaned. Inspect it.
- Check circulation pump, repair or replace as needed.
Glows diode "Security" - gas enters the burner of the boiler in a small amount or does not enter at all. Inspect the valves and open them if necessary. The problem remains - call the gas workers.

The pump has been operating for too long. The water temperature indicator constantly lights up on the control unit - the heating system is not working properly or there are air jams in it. Bleed the air.
The boiler began to heat up longer - look for a problem with gas pressure and condition of filters.
The burner vibrates when it is turned on - the size of the chimney is not enough for a normal exhaust gas.
The efficiency of the device in terms of hot water supply and heating has decreased - bad water or dirt from the heating system gets into the boiler. The chemical processing of the circuits and the heat exchanger will help.
