Error a6 gas boiler buderus. All error codes for Audi. Not a fatal error

Malfunctions, breakdowns of heating equipment are inevitable.Depending on the model of the Buderus boiler, the automation notifies the user about the problem with a code on the display or by flashing the corresponding indicator light.

This article discusses the causes of error 6a and provides practical advice on troubleshooting.

On a note!

The control boards of imported boilers react to changes in the parameters of the electrical network. Before you start troubleshooting Buderus or the heating system, it is recommended that you do the following:

  • check the mains voltage rating. 230 V is indicated in the Buderus passport, and if there is a significant discrepancy, malfunctions in the operation of the automation and the appearance of errors on the display are possible;

Checking the mains voltage with a multimeter

  • make sure that the boiler is properly grounded. Poor contact at the point where the wire is connected may cause a malfunction code to flash;

  • press and hold the OK button for 10 seconds (if it is provided for this Buderus model) - the error should disappear;

Press the OK button on the control panel of the Buderus U072 boiler

  • turn off and restart the boiler (Stand-by button on the front panel). If the 6a code is not removed, you need to deal with the causes that initiate it.

Press the Stand-by button on the Buderus U072 boiler control panel

Error 6a(2nd indicator flashing) - No flame burner.

The code is generated in the Buderus control board in the absence of current through the electrode of the boiler ionization sensor. There are several probable reasons, and in order to reduce the time for troubleshooting, it is advisable to adhere to such an algorithm of actions.

Step 1- backbone testing

Easy check of gas supply

If the facility has a gas stove, it is enough to light all the burners. It will immediately become clear that the pipe is not blocked, and the pressure of the "blue fuel" is normal (in terms of the intensity and uniformity of the flames). If the result is negative, you will have to look for the reason.

What to check

  • Shut-off valves ... During a long absence, the owners usually block the pipe, and then forget about it. In private houses, a security element such as a shut-off valve is installed.

Cocks with a yellow handle are designed to shut off gas in the pipeline

For gas pipelines, a normally closed device is used. Consequently, even with a short-term power outage, the mechanism will work and block the line. The boiler will stop and the Buderus automatics will show error 6a. The armature is cocked manually.


  • Filter ... Neglecting the frequency of its maintenance leads to the fact that pollution is reflected in the intensity of the gas supply: Buderus stops and issues an error 6a.

  • Gearbox status (in case of autonomous gas supply). Deterioration of thermal insulation, insufficient insulation of the street cabinet, and the head of the gas tank lead to icing: the fuel does not reach Buderus.

Reducer connected to gas cylinder

  • Tank fullness. The limiting production of volume reduces the gas pressure to a critical value. The boiler will not start, and the automation will show an error.

If no defects are identified, and gas is not supplied to Buderus, the probable cause of code 6a is the meter. But it is being sealed, so you will have to call the master.

Step 2- equipment testing

Ionization sensor

There are several reasons why he does not send a signal to the Buderus control board about the presence of a flame.

  • Electrode contamination. It is necessary to clean it from carbon deposits, dust, and error 6a will disappear.
  • Open circuit, short circuit of wires, poor contact in connectors, oxidation of plug lamellas - it is not difficult to visually identify and eliminate.
  • Wrong position of the electrode: it does not see the flame. It happens when the user is self-serving Buderus. For example, when cleaning the boiler burner nozzles, the sensing element is touched by an inaccurate movement. You can determine by the spark during ignition: is it sufficient to ignite the gas, where exactly it hits.

Gas fittings

Buderus boiler gas valve

  1. Test nipple (nozzle pressure)
  2. Adjusting screw for maximum gas flow
  3. Lid
  4. Minimum gas flow adjusting screw
  5. Connection for measuring the supplied gas pressure

The only thing you can do yourself is to check the integrity of the connected wires. It is not recommended to regulate the valve, all the more to disassemble the assembly - this is the prerogative of a professional.

The instructions for the Buderus boiler describe the technology for adjusting the fittings, but it is better not to engage in amateur activities - without proper knowledge, practical experience, it is impossible to competently do it. There will be problems with increased gas consumption, frequent malfunctions of the Buderus boiler, and errors on the display.

Burner

When the heating unit is idle for a long time, the holes of the nozzles are clogged with dust; during its operation, the smallest particles of soot settle on them (if the fuel is of poor quality, the fittings are not adjusted). Using a brush (for example, a toothbrush) and a vacuum cleaner, error 6a can be eliminated in a few minutes, and the boiler will resume operation.

Step 3- chimney check

Lack of oxygen, blockage of the air flow to the burner can cause error 6a of the Buderus boiler. First of all, you need to check the outside of the coaxial chimney. The formation of ice impedes the air flow, error 6a appears, the boiler stops.

If the user encountered this problem after the first start-up of Buderus in operation, it is advisable to invite a specialist. Probable causes of error 6a: incorrectly calculated channel diameter, route length, illiterately drawn up diagram.

For units with an open chamber, the vertical (booster) part must be at least the length recommended by the manufacturer (depending on the boiler power). You can't figure it out on your own.

The measures taken to restore Buderus' performance may not eliminate error 6a. In this case, the fault must be looked for in the boiler control board.

It is also worth checking when the unit stops shortly after firing up. 99% of the reason is in her; at home is not being repaired, it is changing. You can restore the module by flashing it, but only in a service center.

  • Ensuring stable operation of the boiler, reducing the risk of errors is achieved by connecting Buderus through a UPS.

Uninterruptible Power Supply SKAT

Stabilizers, strongly recommended by the managers of retail outlets, in the event of a power line break, interruptions in power supply will not help - they only smooth out the ripple, maintaining the voltage value within 220, with small deviations.

There are batteries in the power supplies for heating boilers, and in any case, the equipment will not stop.

  • The operation of Buderus with an open chamber is affected by the ventilation in the room. It is not difficult to check by increasing traction: for example, open windows, doors. If the reason is the lack of oxygen in the combustible mixture, error 6a disappears.
  • A rare case known from practice: the appearance of such a code was initiated by a glass crack on the Buderus panel ("window" of the boiler combustion chamber). During a visual inspection, you need to make sure that there is no mechanical damage, tightness around the perimeter.

The article discusses those causes of error 6a Buderus, which are eliminated on their own. It is not recommended to experiment, to expand the circle of troubleshooting, guided by the advice of different experts.

Imported gas boilers are expensive, and there are differences in the design of the modifications. There are enough arguments to understand: no result - to a professional.

If you have experience on how to fix error 6a in a Buderus gas boiler or a solution based on your experience - write in the comments to this article, we will try to consider your option and analyze it in detail in this article or one of the following articles.

How to diagnose the error?

Good to know

There are two options for diagnosing Audi cars - using a computer (more accurate), and testing using an LED lamp. In the second case, diagnostics are performed using a special connector.

Depending on the model and year of manufacture, the location of the diagnostic pads may be different:

  • above the fuel pump relay;
  • in a special niche for the front passenger's feet;
  • under the center console on the passenger side or in the fuse module on the left side of the engine compartment, next to the engine panel;
  • under a protective plastic cover above the pedals in a special recess for the driver's feet.

The self-diagnosis procedure is performed as follows:

  1. The power unit of the machine starts up and warms up to operating temperatures. It should be borne in mind that the error codes of oxygen sensors (lambda probes) can be read only after a long trip of at least 10 minutes.
  2. The engine stops and the ignition is activated. If the power unit initially failed to start, then you need to turn the crankshaft for 6 seconds and leave the ignition system on.
  3. Using a safety device, the test contacts are closed over the fuel pump relay for at least five seconds. Then the element must be disconnected, which will cause the fault LED to blink.
  4. The code reading procedure will begin. One series of flashes indicates the first symbol of the combination, the second series - on the second, etc. In each cycle, several flashes lasting 1-2 seconds with a short interval of 2.5 m.

How do I reset the error?

There are several options for deleting error codes from the memory of the control unit:

  1. Using VAG-COM software. The utility has a special section that allows you to delete combinations of faults after diagnostics.
  2. Disconnecting the battery terminals from the device. It is necessary to disconnect the clamps for a few minutes, and then reconnect them. With such manipulations, some settings may be reset, for example, time or car radio. However, it must be borne in mind that in this way not all errors are deleted from the memory of the on-board computer, but only the least critical - serious codes will remain in the control unit.
  3. Another option is to delete error codes using the on-board computer. On the instrument panel display, select the "Pressure monitoring" submenu item using the combination buttons. If the on-board computer is Russified, then the "Pressure control" menu is selected. In the next window, you must specify the "Store curr monitoring" subsection. The combinations of faults must then be deleted from the microprocessor memory.
  4. You can also use the following algorithm to delete (may not work on all Audi models). First, the ignition is activated, after which the button located next to the speedometer is pressed or pulled. The message "Service" will appear on the dashboard. The button must be held in this state until the message “Service in ——km——” appears on the screen.

Fans of downloading hacked games and programs from torrents, called RePack "s, may encounter the error" Unarc.dll return error code - 6. "By the way, the number in this message can be absolutely any, from 1 to 12, this does not change the essence. the cause is always the same.This article will talk about how to fix this error in order to make a normal installation of the downloaded application.

What is the error?

Before discussing how to fix the error "Unarc.dll return error code - 6", it is worth understanding the reason for its appearance. And it's pretty simple. An error occurs during unpacking of the archive, due to which the process cannot be completed. It can be caused by various reasons, but most often the fault is the lack of the necessary archiver on the computer or its version. This phenomenon can be easily corrected, which will be discussed below, but there are also so-called critical errors that cannot be corrected.

Critical error

It is worth immediately identifying a critical error. If you have it, then you should see a line in the message, which contains the words filed CRC check. Unfortunately, it cannot be corrected in any way. That is, you will not be able to install a game or program by performing manipulations on the computer. However, there is one way that can help. He comes first in the article, so if you find that you have a critical error, please refer to him.

Not a fatal error

But along with a critical error, there is also a non-critical one, and, fortunately, it happens more often than the first. To understand that this is it, you need to look at the line that comes after "Unarc.dll return error code - 6", there should be an inscription: file read operation failed. If you see it, it means that one of the following methods will help you fix it. But you should also pay attention to the fact that they must be performed in the order of the specified queue - this will increase the chance of success. And some of them only work in conjunction with others, so carefully read the instructions and try not to miss anything.

Remedy # 1: when the archive is damaged

So, it's time to start a story about how to fix the "Unarc.dll return error code - 6" error. Now I will tell you how to fix the error if it is associated with a damaged archive. By the way, it is this method that can help when a critical error occurs.

The fact is that in some cases you can download an archive that is "broken". Moreover, it can be damaged both during the boot itself, and it can be from the very beginning. In this case, you will not be able to install the game or the program, but only downloading a new RePack will help.

Remedy # 2: installing archivers

It has already been said above that the more common reason for the error is the lack of the necessary archiver that could work with the format that is included in the RePack itself. The fact is that many authors making these archives use "exotic" archiving methods to to reduce their weight as much as possible. Solution "Unarc.dll returned error code - 6" in this case is quite simple. You need to download and install on your computer the latest versions of two archivers: 7-Zip and WinRar. After installing them, the error should disappear.

Remedy number 3: disabling antivirus and other protection elements

Although the presented error occurs due to the lack of the necessary archivers, this is not the only reason. And installing third-party programs may not always help. Sometimes antivirus or other Windows protection tools are to blame. Now we will tell you how to fix "Unarc.dll return error code - 6" if the antivirus is guilty.

If you have installed an antivirus from a third-party manufacturer, then check on the website how to disable it. If you are using Windows Defender, then enter the control panel, go to the appropriate section and disable protection in the settings. You can also turn off the firewall in the control panel - it can also cause an error. By the way, after installing the game or program, the protection tools can be turned back on.

Remedy number 4: obtaining rights

You have disabled antivirus, but what to do with "Unarc.dll return error code - 6" if this message still appears. Now we will look at a fairly simple method to fix this problem. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, some methods are best paired with others, this is just such a case - use it with the previous one.

So, disable system protections and try to run the installer with administrator rights. That is, right-click on it and click on "Run as administrator".

Remedy # 5: increasing the swap volume

Unfortunately, the solution to the problem is not always as simple as in the previous case. The error may be due to the small size of the paging file. Fortunately, you can increase it at any time. Now let's figure out how to do this.

    Open the system properties by right-clicking on the "My Computer" shortcut and selecting "Properties".

    In the left pane, click Advanced System Settings.

    In the window that appears, go to the "Advanced" section.

    Enter Performance Options.

    Go to the "Advanced" section.

    Click on "Change".

Now, in the window that appears, you need to check the first item, select the disk with the paging file and specify the maximum size equal to your RAM, and then save the changes.

Remedy number 6: increasing RAM

Unfortunately, the solution of the error "Unarc.dll return error code - 6" may simply not be feasible using the tools of the operating system itself. Sometimes it is necessary to intervene in the system unit. The fact is that for correct unpacking, there may not be enough RAM, in this case, only its increase will help. But it is advised to acquire this type of memory only if all other methods have not helped you.

Remedy # 7: replacing library files

Finally, you can try to replace the dynamic libraries themselves, which are used during the installation process. It is necessary to change ISDone together with Unarc. This is done as easy as shelling pears:

    Go to the Internet and download the libraries of the same name to your computer.

    Move the downloaded files to the path C: \ Windows \ System32 or C: \ Windows \ SysWOW64, depending on the bitness of your system.

    Press Win + R.

    Run regsvr32 isdone.dll and regsvr32 unarc.dll.

Perhaps, after these manipulations, the problem will disappear.

Surely, many fans of modern computer games, when installing them on a computer, faced a problem when the installation was about to end, and instead of a successful completion, the system displays a message like "Unarc.dll returned error code 6". What is the reason and how to fix this situation, now it will be shown on the simplest examples.

Failure "Unarc.dll returned error code 6": what does it mean and what is the reason?

Before you start troubleshooting this type of error, you need to understand what causes it. It is believed that in most cases they occur only when downloading from the Internet and using unofficial installation assemblies, which are commonly called Re-Pack.

Unfortunately, most often these are not "native" distributions of games, but custom sets, in which some important components may be missing or damaged. In addition, as a rule, they are presented in the form of archives, with which many problems can also arise.

A decompressor program and two dynamic libraries - ISDone.dll and Unarc.dll are responsible for installing games. Error code 6 with different types of failure descriptions may indicate the most common causes of problems, among which the following can be distinguished:

  • damage to the downloaded archive with violation of integrity;
  • creating an archive with a higher version of the archiver than the one used for unpacking;
  • virus infection of the contents of the archive;
  • crashes in dynamic components.

Errors of installation distribution components when installing games

The most unpleasant situation for a gamer is the appearance of an error at the final stage of the installation of the game. The installation progress may already be 95-99% complete, but it is at this time that a critical failure occurs.

The reason for this is banally simple. The Unarc.dll component generates error 6 when it is impossible to unpack and install the last missing components. As a rule, these are archives, the content of which is extracted last. In official distributions, there are no problems only because the set has its own decompressor, the files are presented in the form of self-extracting archives, or during the unpacking process the installer refers to the archiver installed in the system, which corresponds to the modification of the program with which the archive was originally created.

At the same time, in the description you can often find the phrases “Unarc.dll returned error code 6. Error. File read operation failed "or" Decompression failed ". The first description indicates that the installer cannot read (recognize) the file, the second indicates that the archiver cannot decompress the contents.

Unarc.dll returned error code 6: how to fix the crash in the simplest way

The first and easiest way to troubleshoot a corrupted archive is to try to download it to your computer again. It may well be that he just did not load.

If the repeated download does not give a positive result, and the archiver in the error message mentions a failure to read the data, you should look for an intact (whole) archive on another resource and download it to your computer.

Elimination of problems related to archivers

On the other hand, when the installer accesses the archiver installed in the system, or the user extracts the contents of the archive during the installation process on his own, the situation with the appearance of a warning that Unarc.dll returned error code 6 can also occur.

The most common problem is that the version of the compression program is lower than the one with which the archive was packed. The simplest example is an attempt to unpack archives created using WinRAR of the fifth modification, a similar application, but version 4. The way out of this situation is to install the required version of the archiver or replace it with another equivalent (WinZIP, 7-Zip, etc.) ...

By the way, when it comes to packing the archive with the 7-Zip program, sometimes non-standard methods of enhanced compression can be used, which WinZIP and WinRAR do not support. In this case, the extraction of the content must be done by the original application.

Virus infection problems

The viral impact cannot be underestimated either. Both the archive itself and the dynamic libraries involved in the installation of the game can be infected.

In the first case, before unpacking, you should check the desired archive for viruses, in the second, perform a comprehensive scan of the entire computer system, activating in-depth analysis.

Fix crashes of dynamic components involved in the installation process

Finally, the message "Unarc.dll returned error code 6" may also appear in the event of a failure of the dynamic components themselves, due to a critical impact on the operating system (incorrect shutdown, power surges, system component errors, etc.).

There is also a solution for such cases. Since it is impossible to manually fix such failures (even when integrating original libraries copied from another computer with a similar OS or downloaded from the Internet into the system), they should be restored. We do not consider rolling back the system, because the components could have been damaged for a long time, and there is no checkpoint for recovery.

You can check the system with the sfc scannow command, which is entered in the appropriate console. The easiest way is to use special utilities like DLL Suite or Microsoft Fix It !, which will do all the operations automatically without user intervention.

Conclusion

In conclusion of the topic, it remains to add that the most frequent failures are precisely errors in archived data, so it is better not to use all sorts of repackages, but to install your favorite or favorite games using official distributions. Only in this case it is possible to guarantee that the installation will be successful and there will be no problems during the installation process.

Just in case, the archiving programs should also be kept up to date, because the new versions, with the help of which the archives are created, imply more powerful compression using updated algorithms, and outdated modifications may not support such technologies.

Finally, we did not consider here the issues related to the damage to the RAM strips, and any other malfunctions of a physical nature.
