What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler loses communication with the sensor responsible for monitoring the temperature in your living area. It is typically caused by a faulty component failing to send a signal or a break in the electrical wiring connecting the sensor to the boiler's main control board.
This issue often becomes apparent during the first cold spell of autumn when homeowners try to turn their heating on after several months of it being switched off.
