Your boiler's main control board has detected an internal communication error, meaning it cannot process commands correctly.
Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.
Technical description: –
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's central brain, the main control board, experiences an internal electronics failure or loses the ability to talk to its sensors. The most common reason is a hardware malfunction within the PCB itself or a loose connection in the internal wiring harness that prevents data from flowing correctly.
