What causes the Glow-worm F.64 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board fails to correctly interpret the electrical signals coming from its internal sensors. It is usually caused by a critical electronic failure within the circuit board itself or a short circuit in the wiring that confuses the boiler's computer. In some cases, a faulty temperature sensor can send an erratic voltage that the system can no longer process safely.
