While less common, a partially blocked flue can disrupt the airflow and affect combustion, potentially leading to an Error 118. A blocked flue prevents proper ventilation and can cause incomplete combustion, making flame detection unreliable. A flue inspection is often part of a boiler service and error diagnosis.
