This boiler uses LED flash patterns

Count the flashes in one repeating group before the pause. That number is your fault code. Do not reset until you have noted it. How to read fault codes →

5 (Flashing Light)

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

High DIY-safe £0-80

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop (a flexible metal hose) underneath your boiler or near your airing cupboard pipes.
  2. Open the valves on the filling loop to allow cold mains water to enter the system while watching the pressure gauge.
  3. Close the valves firmly once the needle sits between 1.0 and 1.5 bar, then restart your boiler.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure gauge
  • Pressure relief valve
LED 5 (Flashing light)

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

High DIY-safe £0-80

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop (a flexible silver hose) underneath the boiler.
  2. Open the taps on both ends of the hose to allow water into the system.
  3. Monitor the pressure gauge on the front panel and close both taps once the needle reaches 1.5 bar.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure gauge
  • Pressure safety valve
E03

Your boiler is struggling to clear exhaust gases properly, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent any risk of fumes entering your home.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Flue fan assembly
  • Venturi
E05

Your boiler has stopped heating your radiators because the sensor that monitors internal water temperature is sending an incorrect or broken signal.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating flow NTC sensor
  • Wiring harness

E06

Your boiler is struggling to detect the temperature of your hot water, so it has stopped heating it to prevent the system from overheating.

Medium Engineer only £120-180

Parts commonly replaced

  • Domestic Hot Water (DHW) NTC sensor

Related codes

Heating demand light ON

Your boiler is confused and thinks it is constantly being asked for heating, which usually means the temperature sensor is sending a false signal.

Medium Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central Heating NTC Sensor
Insufficient pressure

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

High DIY-safe £0-£100

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop (a silver braided hose) underneath the boiler
  2. Open the small valve or tap attached to the hose slowly
  3. Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches between 1 and 1.5 bar
  4. Close the valve tightly to stop the flow of water

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure gauge
LED 5

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure inside the system has dropped too low for it to operate safely, meaning your heating and hot water will not turn on.

High DIY-safe £80-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver hose with one or two small valves connecting your boiler or nearby pipework.
  2. Open the valve(s) slowly to allow mains water into the system until the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the valve(s) tightly and check that the fault light has cleared.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure sensor
  • Expansion vessel
LED2

Your boiler is failing to light the flame properly, which has caused it to stop working as a safety precaution.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Main PCB
Low water pressure light ON

Your boiler has stopped working because the amount of water inside your heating system has dropped below the required level.

High DIY-safe £80-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is a flexible braided hose connecting your central heating pipework to your mains water pipe.
  2. Open the small valves at both ends of this hose slowly to allow water to enter the system while watching the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler.
  3. Close both valves firmly once the needle sits between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure transducer
  • Expansion vessel
Red LED Out (Lockout)

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot safely ignite the flame required to provide heating or hot water.

High Engineer only £120-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat thermostat
  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • PCB
Tap symbol light ON

Your boiler is struggling to detect when you turn on the hot tap, meaning you may experience issues getting hot water to your taps or shower.

Medium Engineer only £120-180

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW NTC thermistor sensor
