What causes this fault?

This status occurs when the central heating function has been manually deactivated on the control panel, leaving only the hot water operational. It is typically caused by a user changing the settings to prevent the radiators from coming on while still needing hot water for taps and showers.

This is most common during the summer months when homeowners intentionally switch off their heating to save energy.
