What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control system detects that a flame has not been successfully established or maintained after several ignition cycles. The most common reasons include a worn-out spark probe that can no longer ignite the gas, or a faulty gas valve preventing fuel from reaching the burner.

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.
