Technical description: Fan error
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control board cannot detect that the fan is spinning at the required speed to safely clear exhaust gases. The most common reason is a mechanical failure within the fan motor or a communication issue caused by a damaged wiring harness or a fault on the main circuit board.
