What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer suffers a hardware failure, meaning it can no longer process data or send signals to other components safely. The most common reason is typical wear and tear on the electrical circuitry or a sudden power surge that has damaged the delicate components on the control board.

Engineer required

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