The 6 most common faults

01
F37 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low.

What to try first

Locate the filling loop, which is usually a metal braided hose underneath the boiler.Open the small valve or tap attached to the loop slowly, listening for water entering the system.Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches the green zone (typically 1.0 to 1.5 bar).Close the valve or tap tightly and check that the fault code has cleared.

02
F43 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected that the heat exchanger is getting too hot, likely due to a lack of water flow, triggered to prevent potential damage to the internal components.

Est. cost
£150-350
Parts
Central heating pump, System filter, Flow sensor

03
A01 High Engineer

Your boiler is failing to light the flame, which means it cannot produce any hot water or heating.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Ignition electrode, Gas valve, Ignition lead

04
A06 High Engineer

Your boiler is failing to light the internal burner, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent a gas build-up.

Est. cost
£150-300
Parts
Ignition electrode, Gas valve, PCB
Full guide for A06
05
F07 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected an issue with the temperature sensors, meaning it cannot accurately measure how hot the water is and has stopped working as a safety precaution.

Est. cost
£120-220
Parts
NTC temperature sensor, Wiring harness
Full guide for F07
06
F14 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected that the exhaust gases leaving the system are getting too hot, so it has shut itself down to prevent damage.

Est. cost
£150-300
Parts
Primary heat exchanger, Flue gas temperature sensor, Central heating pump

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Ferroli shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
