F1

Your boiler has stopped working because a protective electrical fuse has blown, causing the system to shut down for safety.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • 1 Amp (F1A) fuse
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Related codes

F2

Your boiler has stopped working because an internal safety fuse has blown, cutting off the power to the main control system.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Control Board (PCB)
  • F1A Fuse

Related codes

Neon 1

Your boiler has lost its electrical power supply, meaning it cannot switch on to provide heating or hot water.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • PCB fuse
  • Main PCB
  • Wiring harness
Neon 1 NOT lit

Your boiler is not receiving power, which means it cannot turn on to provide heating or hot water.

High DIY-safe £90-280

What to check first

  1. Check if the boiler's fused spur switch is turned on
  2. Check your home's main consumer unit (fuse box) to see if a circuit breaker has tripped
  3. Replace the 3-amp fuse in the boiler's external wall switch

Parts commonly replaced

  • PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
  • Internal Glass Fuse
  • Mains Wiring

Neon 2

Your boiler has stopped working because it has either lost water pressure or triggered a safety shut-off to prevent it from getting too hot.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat thermostat
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure gauge
  • Expansion vessel

Related codes

Neon 2 lit

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure level inside the system is too low to operate safely, causing it to shut down to prevent damage.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Water pressure switch
  • Pressure gauge

Related codes

Neon 2 NOT lit

Your boiler has stopped running because it has either detected that it is getting too hot or the water pressure in the system has dropped too low.

High DIY-safe £90-280

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on your system and top it up to 1.5 bar using the filling loop if it is low.
  2. Ensure all radiator valves and boiler isolation valves are fully open to allow water flow.
  3. Wait for the unit to cool down and check if there is a manual reset button on the bottom or front of the casing.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat Thermostat
  • Limit Thermostat
  • System Pressure Sensor
Neon 3

Your boiler is failing to clear combustion gases properly, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.

Emergency Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Fan assembly
  • Venturi

Related codes

Neon 3 lit

Your boiler has detected an issue with its internal airflow system meant to clear exhaust gases, preventing it from safely starting up.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Printed circuit board (PCB)
  • Venturi

Related codes

Neon 3 NOT lit

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot confirm that the internal fan is safely clearing waste gases out of the flue.

High Engineer only £120-280

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan assembly
  • Air pressure switch
  • Silicone tubing
Neon 4

Your boiler is failing to light the burner, meaning it cannot produce heat or hot water because it does not detect a flame.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Flame rectification probe
  • Ignition lead
  • PCB

Related codes

Neon 4 lit

Your boiler is failing to light because it cannot create the necessary spark to start the pilot flame.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Ignition lead
  • Ignition PCB

Related codes

Neon 4 NOT lit

Your boiler is trying to start up but cannot light the small pilot flame needed to ignite the main heating system.

High DIY-safe £120-350

What to check first

  1. Check that your gas emergency control valve is in the 'on' position
  2. Verify that other gas appliances in your home, such as a hob, are working correctly
  3. Press the reset button on the front control panel to attempt a restart

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition Electrode
  • Gas Valve
  • Pilot Injector
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
