BoilerFaultCodesThe 6 most common faults
Your boiler is struggling to move enough water through your radiators, which prevents it from heating your home safely.
Check your radiator valves to ensure they are all in the 'open' positionCheck the central heating system pressure gauge on the front of the boiler to ensure it is between 1.0 and 1.5 barIf the pressure is low, locate the filling loop under the boiler and top up the system to 1.5 bar
Your boiler has detected that water is not moving through your heating system correctly, which is preventing it from heating your home properly.
Check all radiator valves in your home are fully open.Ensure your system pressure is set correctly, typically between 1.0 and 1.5 bar on the gauge.Turn the boiler off at the fused spur for 30 seconds and then back on to reset the system.
Your boiler is struggling to push water through your heating system effectively, preventing it from heating your home or water properly.
Check that all your radiator valves are fully openEnsure your system pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar on the boiler displayBleed your radiators to release any trapped airTurn the boiler off and back on again to reset the system
Your boiler is struggling to move enough water through your radiators or pipes, preventing it from heating your home property.
Check all radiator valves are fully openEnsure your system pressure gauge is between 1 and 1.5 barBleed all radiators to release trapped air trapped in the system
Your boiler has detected that there is not enough water inside the heating system to operate safely.
Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a silver braided hose connected to two valves beneath the boiler.Slowly open the valves to let water into the system until the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close both valves tightly and check that the fault code has cleared.
Your boiler has detected that the water pressure inside your heating system is too high, which can cause internal leaks or force the safety valve to open.
Locate the external heating system drain valve near a low-level radiator.Place a bucket and cloth underneath, then slowly open the valve to release a small amount of water.Monitor the boiler's pressure gauge until it drops into the green zone (usually 1.5 bar) and close the valve tightly.
