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 your 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 the boiler.
  2. Open the small valve or tap on the filling loop to allow water to enter the system.
  3. Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches the green zone (usually 1.0 to 1.5 bar).
  4. Close the valve tightly and check that the fault light has cleared.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure gauge

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 £80-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a metal braided hose underneath the boiler.
  2. Open the small valve on the filling loop to allow water to enter the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the valve firmly and ensure the boiler resets itself.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure gauge

Low water pressure

Your boiler has detected that there is not enough water inside the heating system to allow it to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £80-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the two small taps (filling loop) connected to the pipes underneath your boiler.
  2. Open the taps slowly to let fresh water enter the system until the needle on the pressure gauge reaches approximately 1.5 bar.
  3. Close both taps tightly and check the boiler display to see if the error light has cleared.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure sensor

Red lockout light

Your boiler has detected an issue and stopped working as a safety precaution, likely because the fuel supply is interrupted or the internal pipe for water drainage is blocked.
