Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot properly detect the temperature or movement of the water inside the system.
Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.
Technical description: Flow sensor disconnected – check the correct positioning and operation of the flow sensors
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control board loses communication with the sensor that monitors the temperature of the water leaving the unit. The most common reason is that the sensor has developed an internal electrical failure or the thin wires connecting it to the main computer have become loose or damaged. Because the boiler can no longer safely tell how hot the water is, it shuts down immediately to prevent overheating.
