BoilerFaultCodesThe 6 most common faults
Your boiler has detected that the water pressure is either too low for the system to run or there is a problem with the sensor that measures it.
Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler or the digital display.If the pressure is below 1.0 bar, use the filling loop valves to top up the system to 1.5 bar.Ensure the valves are fully closed after topping up and restart the boiler.
Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure is too low and needs to be topped up.
Locate the blue-handled filling link underneath the boiler.Slowly turn the lever(s) to allow water into the system while watching the pressure gauge.Close the lever(s) tightly once the pressure reaches between 1.2 and 1.5 bar.
Your boiler has switched itself off because it detected that the internal water temperature has become dangerously hot or a sensor has failed.
Ensure all radiator valves are fully open to allow water to flow.Check that your boiler pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar on the pressure gauge.Turn the boiler off and back on again once it has had 30 minutes to cool down.
Your boiler has switched itself off because it has become too hot internally, likely due to a lack of water flow or a blockage.
Check that your central heating pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar on the pressure gauge.Ensure all radiator valves and internal stop taps are fully open to allow water to flow.Try resetting the boiler by pressing the 'Reset' button on the control panel.
Your boiler has lost water pressure and has shut itself down to prevent damage to the internal components.
Locate the filling loop (usually a silver braided hose with two black handles underneath the boiler).Slowly open both handles until you hear water entering the system.Watch the pressure gauge and close both handles once the needle reaches 1.5 bar.
Your boiler has lost its internal electrical connection signal, which is usually caused by low water pressure or a loose wiring link inside the unit.
Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler or via the display.If the pressure is below 1.0 bar, use the filling loop to top it up to 1.5 bar.Press the 'Reset' button (the one with the circular arrow) to clear the fault.
