Your boiler has stopped working because it either doesn't have enough water inside the system to operate safely or the internal water pump is failing to move the water around.

High DIY-safe £120-250

What to check first

  1. Check your boiler's pressure gauge on the front panel; if it is below 1.0 bar, use the filling loop to top the system up to between 1.0 and 1.5 bar
  2. Ensure your central heating system does not have any obvious water leaks coming from radiators or the boiler itself
  3. Once pressure is restored, reset the boiler using the reset button on the control panel

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating pump
  • Pressure gauge
  • Pressure sensor

13 operating states & engineer diagnostics

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

neon (flashing) Status Your boiler is simply warming up its internal water supply to ensure hot water is ready the moment you turn on a tap; this is a normal operational light and not a fault. 閃 neon flashing Status Your boiler is simply warming up a small internal supply of water so that hot water arrives at your taps more quickly when you turn them on. 20 Status Your boiler's temperature sensor is providing incorrect information, causing the system to stop heating your home and water as a safety precaution. 30 Status Your boiler is simply going through its normal startup sequence or resetting itself, and no action is currently required. 31 Status Your boiler is struggling to correctly detect or manage the request for hot water, which usually means it cannot provide a consistent temperature at your taps. 32 Status Your boiler is having difficulty communicating with its internal temperature sensors, which is preventing it from heating your home correctly. 33 Status Your boiler is operating normally and successfully heating water or radiators as requested. 100 Diagnostic Your boiler is currently in a manual testing mode used by engineers to check combustion levels, rather than displaying a fault. 154 Diagnostic Your boiler is struggling to compare the temperatures of the water leaving and returning to it, and needs a professional to check the internal sensors. neon illuminated Status Your boiler is receiving power and is currently switched on, but it is not indicating any active fault or error. 皿 neon illuminated Status Your boiler is simply indicating that it is currently operating in hot water mode, which is a normal state and not an error. 血 neon illuminated Status Your boiler is currently operating normally as it is in Central Heating mode, indicating that the system is successfully heating your radiators. 閃 neon illuminated Status Your boiler is receiving electrical power and is currently standing by, ready to provide heating or hot water when you turn on a tap or adjust the thermostat.
