The 6 most common faults
Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the system is too low.
Locate the filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver hose connected under your boiler.Open the valves at both ends of the hose to allow water into the system.Monitor the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches the green zone (typically 1.0 to 1.5 bar).Close both valves tightly and remove the filling loop if it is not a permanent fixture.
Your boiler has detected that the exhaust gases leaving the system are getting too hot, so it has shut down to prevent potential damage or overheating.
