A xx

Your boiler is currently running a routine self-cleaning process to remove trapped air from the system.

Low DIY-safe

What to check first

  1. Wait 10 to 15 minutes for the automatic process to finish
  2. Monitor the boiler display to see if it returns to normal operation
  3. Ensure your system pressure is at the correct level once the cycle completes
Block 60

Your boiler has lost its specific 'tuning' settings which control how much power it should use, preventing it from starting up correctly.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Control Board (PCB)
  • Internal configuration memory
Block 67

Your boiler has detected a temperature difference between its internal pipes while it is turned off, causing it to temporarily pause for safety.

Medium Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flow sensor
  • Return sensor
  • NTC thermistor
Block 80

Your boiler has switched itself off because the waste gases exiting the flue are dangerously hot, indicating your system is struggling to vent heat properly.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue gas sensor
  • Primary heat exchanger
  • Pump

Block 81

Your boiler has stopped working because a sensor that monitors the exhaust gases has become disconnected.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue gas sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

Block 82

Your boiler has detected a faulty sensor that monitors exhaust fumes, so it has purposefully shut down for safety reasons until the part can be replaced by a qualified engineer.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue gas temperature sensor

Block 85

Your boiler is struggling to detect water moving through its system and is currently running a self-clearing cycle to flush out trapped air.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating pump
  • Flow sensor
  • Diverter valve

Related codes

Block 86

Your boiler has detected that the electricity supply coming from your wall socket is unstable or outside of the standard frequency range, preventing it from operating safely.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Electrical supply wiring
  • PCB

Err.L - Err.5

Your boiler is displaying a list showing the history of recent technical faults rather than a single active problem, suggesting the system has recorded errors while trying to manage its own performance.

Medium Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Control board
  • Ignition transformer
  • Temperature sensors
Error 00

Your boiler is struggling to light its internal flame properly, meaning it cannot produce heat or hot water reliably.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Flame rectification probe
Error 01

Your boiler has detected an electrical fault in its internal control system that is preventing it from operating safely.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main PCB
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

Error 02

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot light the internal flame needed to heat your water and home.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Flame rectification probe

Related codes

Error 04

Your boiler has detected an internal fault that is preventing it from operating, which usually indicates an issue with the electrical system or the main circuit board.

High Engineer only £250-500

Parts commonly replaced

  • Control unit (PCB)
  • Wiring harness
  • Pressure switch

Related codes

Error 05

Your boiler's main computer brain is having a communication failure, which means the system cannot safely operate and has shut down.

High Engineer only £250-450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main Control PCB
  • Wiring harness
Error 12

Your boiler has stopped working because a small internal fuse that protects its main control system has blown, cutting off the power needed for it to operate.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • 3A T-rated internal fuse
  • Control PCB
Error 19

Your boiler's computer has detected an internal communication failure, meaning it cannot safely operate or start up.

High Engineer only £250-450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main Control Board
  • Wiring Harness
Error 28

Your boiler is unable to confirm that its built-in fan is spinning correctly, so it has safely shut down to prevent unsafe operation.

High Engineer only £180-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan assembly
  • Wiring harness
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
FILL

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the system is too low to run safely.

High DIY-safe

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, usually a small silver braided hose with one or two valves located underneath the boiler.
  2. Gradually open the valve(s) to let water into the system until the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the valve(s) tightly to stop the flow of water.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure sensor
  • Pressure relief valve
HIGH

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure in your heating system is too high, which could cause a leak or damage if not addressed.

High DIY-safe

What to check first

  1. Locate a radiator in your home, preferably upstairs.
  2. Place a cloth and a container under the radiator bleed valve.
  3. Use a radiator key to slightly open the valve and let a small amount of water out until the pressure gauge on the boiler drops to between 1 and 1.5 bar.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure sensor
