Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This occurs when the boiler has reached its required temperature and needs to shift excess heat away from the internal heat exchanger. The pump and fan continue to run for a short period to prevent the unit from overheating and to protect the internal components. It is a natural part of the boiler's operating cycle and indicates the system is managing its temperature correctly.

DIY fix possible

Wait for the boiler to complete its cooling cycle, which usually takes several minutes.Ensure your internal radiator valves (TRVs) are open to allow water to circulate.Check that the system pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar on the display.
