What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the 'Reset' button has been pressed more than five times within a fifteen-minute window. It is a safety feature designed to prevent you from repeatedly clearing an underlying fault without actually fixing the source of the problem. Following this lockout, the boiler will remain disabled for several minutes before it allows you to try again.
DIY fix possible
