BoilerFaultCodesTechnical description
External probe fault.
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler loses communication with the sensor located on the outside of your home. The most common reason is that the sensor's internal circuitry has failed due to moisture ingress or the exposed wiring has been damaged by wind, rain, or garden activity.
This fault is more common during the autumn and winter months when high winds and heavy rain are most likely to damage external components or cause corrosion in the wiring connections.
