F0

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure inside your heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £80-150

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a small silver braided hose with one or two valves located underneath the boiler.
  2. Open the valve(s) slowly to allow mains water into the system until the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the valve(s) tightly and check that the boiler restarts.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure relief valve
  • Expansion vessel

Status & diagnostic codes

9 operating states & engineer diagnostics

Not faults — these are normal operating states. Tap to expand.

n1 Diagnostic Your boiler is failing to light the burner because it cannot detect a flame, meaning you will currently have no heating or hot water. n2 Diagnostic Your boiler is not detecting that the pilot light has successfully ignited, so it has shut down to prevent gas from escaping. n3 Diagnostic Your boiler has detected an issue with the sensor that monitors the water temperature or flow, causing the system to stop working correctly as a safety precaution. n4 Diagnostic Your boiler has detected an issue with the water flow or pressure sensor, meaning it has temporarily stopped working to protect the internal components. n5 Diagnostic Your boiler has detected an issue with the sensor that monitors the internal water temperature or flow, meaning it cannot safely heat your water. n6 Diagnostic Your boiler is failing to light the flame properly, which means it cannot produce hot water or heating. n7 Diagnostic Your boiler is failing to detect the flame needed to ignite, which means it cannot produce hot water or heating. n8 Diagnostic Your boiler has detected an issue with its internal airflow or exhaust system, causing it to shut down for safety reasons. n9 Diagnostic Your boiler has detected a failure to ignite, meaning it is currently unable to start up to provide you with heating or hot water.
