Technical description: Printed circuit board (PCB) AGC01 error
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board suffers a critical electronic failure, often caused by a power surge or localized component burnout. The most common reason is simply the natural degradation of the electrical circuits over time, which prevents the computer from executing the software needed to fire the boiler safely.
