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

High DIY-safe £60-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a small metal braided hose with one or two valves located underneath the boiler.
  2. Open the valve(s) slowly to allow water into the system while watching the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler.
  3. Close the valve(s) tightly once the needle on the gauge reaches the green zone, typically between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure relief valve

Status & diagnostic codes

6 operating states & engineer diagnostics

Not faults — these are normal operating states. Tap to expand.

4 (Flashing Light) Status Your boiler is currently idle and is simply waiting for a signal to provide heating or hot water, so there is no fault with the unit. LED 4 (Flashing light) Status Your boiler is currently in standby mode and is simply waiting for a demand for heating or hot water, so there is no fault at all. 4 (Permanent Light) Status Your boiler is currently operating normally to heat your radiators. 5 (Permanent Light) Status Your boiler is operating normally and is receiving mains electricity as expected. LED 4 (Permanent light) Status Your boiler is currently operating normally and successfully providing heat to your radiators. LED 5 bar (Permanent light) Status Your boiler is failing to detect a stable electrical supply, which is preventing it from starting up or operating correctly.
