Technical description

Gas safety valve failure

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board sends a signal to open the gas valve, but it doesn't receive the correct electrical feedback to confirm it has happened. The most common reason is an internal mechanical failure of the gas valve itself, or a communication breakdown caused by a faulty circuit board or loose wiring connections.

Engineer required

This is a emergency severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
