Technical description

Correct power supply problem.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control system detects an interruption or an irregularity in the electrical current reaching the unit. It is most commonly caused by a blown 3-amp fuse in the external spur switch or a failure within the boiler's internal circuit board which prevents it from processing power correctly.

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.
