Flue thermistor fault

Shared across the EcoBlue + range
This code is shared by the boilers in this range, which use the same control board. It may not be printed in this exact variant’s manual.
Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the internal sensor responsible for monitoring the temperature of the waste gases becomes faulty or loses its connection to the main control board. The most common reason is that the sensor has physically failed due to high heat exposure over time, or the electrical wiring connecting it has become loose or damaged. Because this sensor prevents the boiler from overheating and damaging the flue, the system shuts down immediately for safety.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
