Technical description: Other Errors
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's central control unit suffers a critical communication failure or an internal electrical short. It usually means the main circuit board can no longer safely monitor the boiler's components, so it shuts down the system instantly to prevent damage. The most common reason is age-related wear on the control board's solder points or a surge in the electrical supply.
