What causes this fault?

This status occurs when the boiler's fan continues to run for an extended period after the burner has finished heating your home or water. It is usually caused by the main circuit board failing to tell the fan to stop, or the fan itself sending an incorrect signal back to the control system. While it often resolves itself, it can sometimes suggest the electronic components are beginning to wear out.

DIY fix possible

Check if any radiators have been recently turned offEnsure there is a demand for heat or water still presentMonitor to see if the status clears after a short periodIf the fan runs indefinitely, contact a heating engineer
