BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler has lost track of the system's water pressure because the internal sensor is either faulty or disconnected, causing the heating to stop working for safety.
Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.
Technical description: Water pressure sensor fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer can no longer detect the water pressure inside the system. The most common reason is that the pressure sensor has developed an internal electrical failure or has become blocked with debris, preventing it from sending a signal. In some cases, the thin wires connecting the sensor to the main control board may have come loose or suffered damage.
