Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot light its internal flame or because the pipe that drains away waste water is blocked.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Condensate trap
  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
25

Your boiler has detected that it is dangerously hot and has automatically shut down to prevent damage or a fire risk.

27

Your boiler has detected that water is failing to circulate properly, most likely because the pressure in your heating system has dropped too low.

High DIY-safe £120-250

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; if it is below 1 bar, you need to repressurise the system.
  2. Locate the filling loop (a flexible metal or silver braided hose underneath the boiler) and open the valves until the gauge needle sits between 1 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the valves tightly and check the display to see if the error has cleared.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central Heating Pump
  • Pressure Relief Valve
  • Pressure Sensor
28

Your boiler is struggling to detect the temperature of the water it is trying to heat, which means you likely have no hot water available.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Domestic Hot Water (DHW) NTC Thermistor
29

Your boiler has stopped working because it is unable to accurately measure the temperature of the water being pushed to your radiators.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central Heating NTC Sensor

DHW FLOW SWITCH

Your boiler is struggling to detect when you turn on your hot taps, which means it cannot tell when to start heating your water.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW Flow Switch
  • Diaphragm assembly
FAN

Your boiler has detected an issue with the internal ventilation system that prevents it from starting safely, meaning you currently have no heating or hot water.

High Engineer only £180-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan assembly
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Wiring harness
Flame Failure (Red Light) ON

Your boiler has stopped working because it couldn't safely ignite its internal flame, which means your heating and hot water have turned off as a safety precaution.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

11 operating states & engineer diagnostics

Not faults — these are normal operating states. Tap to expand.

44 Diagnostic Your boiler is struggling to deliver the correct amount of gas to the burner, causing it to shut down for safety reasons. 59 Diagnostic Your boiler is failing to ignite because it cannot detect the spark required to start the flame safely. 63 Diagnostic Your boiler is failing to ignite because it cannot detect the flame, meaning you currently have no heating or hot water. 80e Diagnostic Your boiler has detected that the internal fan responsible for safely venting exhaust gases is not operating correctly, so it has shut down to keep your home safe. 101 Diagnostic Your boiler is struggling to direct heat to your radiators or your hot water taps because a internal switch has become stuck. 105e Diagnostic Your boiler has detected that the internal fan responsible for safely venting fumes outside is not operating correctly, so it has shut down to prevent unsafe operation. 131 Diagnostic Your boiler has stopped working because it is unable to accurately measure the temperature of the water inside the system. 135 Diagnostic Your boiler has detected that it has become too hot and has automatically shut down to prevent damage. 140 Diagnostic Your boiler is failing to ignite because it cannot properly control the flow of gas needed to create a flame. 154 Diagnostic Your boiler's main control computer is failing to communicate properly, which means the system cannot safely regulate your heating and hot water. 169 Diagnostic Your boiler is struggling to accurately read its internal water pressure, which prevents it from firing up safely.
