The 6 most common faults

01
1 03 High DIY-safe

Your boiler is struggling to move enough water through your radiators, which prevents it from heating your home safely.

What to try first

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

What to try first

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.

108 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure inside the system has dropped too low to operate safely.

What to try first

Locate the external filling loop or internal filling valve underneath the boiler.Gradually open the valve until the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close the valve tightly and ensure the boiler resets itself or press the reset button.

1 09 High DIY-safe

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.

What to try first

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.
