What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control system attempts to light the burner but fails to detect a steady flame after several tries. The most common reasons include a worn-out ignition spark electrode that can no longer create a spark, or a gas valve that isn't opening correctly to allow fuel into the burner.
Engineer required
