S.00 Status Your boiler is working correctly and is simply resting because your thermostat has reached the desired temperature or the heating is turned off. S.01 Status Your boiler is currently going through a standard starting sequence to clear the air before the burner lights up. S.02 Status Your boiler is simply preparing its internal pump before starting the heating or hot water process. S.03 Status Your boiler is struggling to light the flame correctly, meaning your heating and hot water may not work reliably. S.04 Status Your boiler is operating normally and is currently in the process of heating your water or radiators. S.05 Status Your boiler is simply cooling itself down after finishing a heating or hot water cycle and will restart normally once it has finished. S.06 Status Your boiler is staying in a cooling-down mode because it thinks the internal fan needs to keep running to clear out heat or fumes. S.07 Status Your boiler is briefly running the internal pump after the heating has switched off to cool down the internal components, which is a normal operation and typically not a fault. S.08 Status Your boiler is temporarily pausing its burner to prevent it from switching on and off too frequently, which protects the internal components and saves energy. S.10 Status Your boiler is not showing an error, but is simply indicating that it is currently operating to provide hot water to your taps or shower. S.11 Status Your boiler is performing a routine safety check by running the fan before the burner ignites. S.13 Status Your boiler is struggling to light the burner properly, which is preventing it from heating your water and radiators. S.14 Status Your boiler is currently operating normally in central heating mode and is not experiencing a fault. S.15 Status Your boiler is staying in a cooling-down phase for longer than expected because it is trying to move excess heat away from the internal components. S.16 Status Your boiler is staying in a cooling-down mode because it thinks the air fan is still spinning when it should have stopped. S.17 Status Your boiler is temporarily running the internal pump to cool the system down after it has finished heating your home or water. S.20 Status Your boiler is currently pre-heating a small amount of water to ensure hot water arrives at your taps quickly when you turn them on. S.21 Status Your boiler is currently stuck in a checking stage where the fan is running but the burner has not yet lit. S.22 Status Your boiler is performing a routine self-check of the internal pump before starting the burner to ensure water is circulating correctly. S.23 Status Your boiler is struggling to light because it cannot detect a steady flame after starting up. S.24 Status Your boiler is operating normally and is currently firing the burner to provide heating or hot water; this is a status message, not an error. S.25 Status Your boiler is temporarily running the internal pump or fan to cool itself down after heating your home or water. S.26 Status Your boiler is currently blowing out leftover exhaust gases through the flue, which is a normal process that happens for a short time after you turn off your heating or hot water. S.27 Status Your boiler is temporarily running the pump after the heat has turned off to safely cool down the internal components. S.28 Status Your boiler is taking a short, programmed break to prevent itself from turning on and off too frequently, which protects the components from unnecessary wear. S.30 Status Your boiler is working fine, but it is waiting for a signal from your thermostat or programmer to tell it to turn the heating on. S.31 Status Your boiler is currently set to provide hot water only, and the central heating has been turned off. S.32 Status Your boiler is temporarily pausing because it thinks it is at risk of freezing or there is a minor airflow issue, and it is waiting for conditions to return to normal. S.34 Status Your boiler has detected very cold temperatures and is running briefly to prevent the internal pipes from freezing. S.36 Status Your boiler is waiting for a signal from your thermostat or timer to turn on, but it isn't receiving one. S.42 Status Your boiler has temporarily stopped providing heating or hot water because an external control or smart accessory is preventing it from firing up. S.53 Status Your boiler has temporarily paused because the water is heating up too quickly or isn't circulating properly through the system. S.54 Status Your boiler has sensed that heat is rising too quickly because there is likely not enough water circulating through the pipes. S.76 Status Your boiler is temporarily paused because it is double-checking the water pressure levels before it continues to run. S.96 Status Your boiler is temporarily pausing to double-check its health sensors before it starts providing heat or hot water. S.97 Status Your boiler is temporarily pausing to check the water pressure levels before it can start your heating or hot water. S.98 Status Your boiler is temporarily pausing to check its temperature sensors before starting up to ensure everything is working correctly.
