Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

What causes this fault?

This status occurs because the boiler is powered on and ready to work, but it hasn't received a 'request' for heat from your wall thermostat or timer. It is physically blocked from firing up because your external controls are telling it that the house is already at the desired temperature or that the heating is scheduled to be off.

This code is frequently seen during the transition into autumn when homeowners first try to turn their heating on, only to find the thermostat batteries have died over the summer.

DIY fix possible

Check that your room thermostat is turned up higher than the current room temperature.Ensure your heating programmer or central heating clock is set to an 'On' period.Check if any wireless thermostats have run out of batteries and replace them if necessary.
