What causes the Ferroli F08 fault?

This fault occurs when the internal temperature of the boiler rises above a safe limit, usually because water isn't moving through the system fast enough to carry heat away. The most common reasons are a failing circulation pump, a build-up of sludge or limescale blocking the heat exchanger, or a 'pocket' of air trapped within the unit.

This fault is frequently seen when the heating is first turned on after autumn, as pump components can seize up during months of inactivity.
