Your boiler's hot water sensor has developed a fault, meaning it cannot accurately measure the temperature of the water coming out of your taps.
This fault should be looked at by a Gas Safe engineer within the next week or two. It may get worse if left.
Technical description: Domestic hot water NTC fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the sensor responsible for monitoring your tap water temperature fails or begins sending incorrect electrical signals to the main control board. The most common reason is natural wear and tear or internal corrosion of the sensor's probe, which prevents the boiler from knowing how hot the water is. In some cases, the error can also be triggered by loose or damaged wiring connecting the sensor to the boiler's computer.
