The 6 most common faults
Your boiler has switched itself off because it has detected that the internal water temperature has become too hot.
Locate the reset button on the control panelPress and hold the reset button for several seconds to clear the lockoutCheck that all radiator valves are open and there is enough pressure in the system
Your boiler has shut down because a sensor has detected that the water leaving the unit to heat your radiators is getting too hot.
Check that all your radiator valves are fully openEnsure the boiler pressure gauge is between 1.0 and 1.5 barPress the Reset button once to see if the fault clears
Your boiler has detected that the water is heating up too quickly or not circulating properly, causing the system to shut down to prevent overheating.

Your boiler has detected that the water isn't heating up or circulating correctly immediately after starting, causing it to shut down for safety.
Check that your central heating valves (lockshields) are fully openEnsure your radiators are bled to remove any trapped airCheck the system pressure gauge and top it up to 1.5 bar if it is too low
