Technical description: Controller ABM03B error – controller internal error
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer chips suffer a hardware failure or a memory corruption, meaning the board can no longer process safety data correctly. The most common reason is electrical degradation of the circuitry over time or a sudden power surge that damages the sensitive components on the PCB.
