What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer brain loses its connection with the visual screen on the front panel. It is usually caused by a loose connecting wire, moisture getting into the electronics, or a component failure on one of the circuit boards. Because the two parts can no longer 'talk' to each other, the boiler shuts down as a safety precaution.

Typical repair cost £120-£350 (including labour)
