What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal controls detect that the main electrical power is either missing or interrupted before it can reach the ignition system. The most common reason is an external fuse that has blown or a loose connection in the wiring that prevents electricity from flowing correctly through the unit. Without this steady power supply, the boiler cannot safely trigger the spark needed to light the flame.

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.
