What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer detects an interruption in the normal operating sequence, causing it to shut down for safety. The most common reasons include a failure to sense a flame correctly or a momentary communication error between the electronic components. If the reset doesn't work, it usually indicates that a part like the ignition lead or the main circuit board is failing to send the correct signals.
