Technical description: SUMMER SETTING

What causes this fault?

This code appears when the boiler's control knob has been turned to the position that disables the central heating. It is a manual setting designed to stop the radiators from heating up while ensuring you still have plenty of hot water for your taps and shower. To resolve it, you simply need to turn the selector dial back to the position that includes both a radiator and a tap icon.

This code is most frequently seen during the spring and summer months when homeowners intentionally switch off their heating to save energy.

Typical repair cost £0 (including labour)

DIY fix possible
