What the manual says
Manufacturer manualInterruption Of Gas Supply or Flame Failure
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler tries to ignite three times but fails to establish or maintain a steady flame. The most common reasons are an interruption in the gas supply, a blocked pipe, or a component inside the boiler being unable to create the spark needed to light the gas.
This fault is frequently seen during extreme cold snaps, as the external condensate pipe can freeze and back up, preventing the boiler from lighting safely.
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.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like E133: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
