A17

Your boiler has detected that water is not flowing through the system correctly, which is preventing it from heating your home safely.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulation pump
  • System filter
  • Flow sensor
A18

Your boiler has detected that hot water isn't moving around your radiators or pipes properly, causing it to shut down to prevent damage from overheating.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating pump
  • Flow sensor
  • Diverter valve
A33

Your boiler has detected that the internal fan responsible for safely removing exhaust gases is not spinning correctly, so it has shut itself down to keep your home safe.

High Engineer only £180-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan assembly
  • Wiring harness
  • PCB
A97

The internal computer in your boiler is experiencing a communication error or software glitch, preventing it from managing your heating and hot water correctly.

High Engineer only £200-450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main PCB
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

E 06

Your boiler has stopped working because it has lost the electronic signal from the sensor that monitors the temperature of the water leaving the unit.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating flow NTC sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

E 07

Your boiler has stopped working because a sensor that measures the temperature of the water leaving the boiler is sending an incorrect electrical signal.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating flow NTC sensor
  • Wiring harness

E 10

Your boiler has detected that an external safety sensor, typically linked to your underfloor heating system, has triggered, causing the system to stop working to prevent overheating.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Floor thermostat sensor
  • Safety limit thermostat
  • Wiring harness
E 20

Your boiler has detected a flame signal when it is not supposed to be burning, which is a safety mechanism preventing it from starting.

Emergency Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flame rectification electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Main PCB
Showing 11–20 of 20

Your boiler's internal computer has encountered a software internal error and is unable to safely manage the heating process.

High Engineer only £200-450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main PCB
  • Control board
E 95

Your boiler is struggling to accurately measure the temperature of the water flowing through your system because it has lost communication with its internal thermometers.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • NTC Temperature Sensor
  • PCB (Main Control Board)
  • Wiring Harness
E 99

Your boiler has failed to start multiple times and has automatically locked itself for safety to prevent a gas buildup.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • PCB Circuit board

S 01

Your boiler failed to light on its first attempt, meaning it is currently unable to produce heat or hot water.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • PCB
S 04

Your boiler is currently unable to sense the temperature of your hot water properly, which means it will stop providing hot water until the faulty sensor is fixed.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW NTC thermistor sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

S 05

Your boiler is struggling to detect the temperature of the water it is trying to heat for your taps and shower, so it has stopped producing hot water to prevent overheating.

Medium Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Domestic Hot Water NTC sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

S 25

Your boiler is struggling to detect the temperature of your hot water cylinder, which means it may fail to provide hot water or heat it correctly.

Medium Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW NTC sensor
