Technical description: Electronics/sensor/analogue-to-digital converter fault

What causes this 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.

Typical repair cost £180-450 (including labour)
