Technical description

Flow NTC fault

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the internal sensor responsible for monitoring the heat of the water leaving the boiler fails to send a reliable signal to the main control board. The most common reason is that the sensor has physically degraded or developed an electrical short, meaning the boiler shuts down as a safety precaution because it no longer knows if the water is at a safe temperature.

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.
