  • Servo wiring harness
47

Your boiler has stopped working because one of its internal temperature sensors is not sending a clear signal, preventing it from safely heating your home.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Temperature sensor (NTC probe)
  • Wiring harness
AIR PRESSURE ERROR

Your boiler is struggling to clear exhaust gases or draw in fresh air, so it has safely shut down to prevent unsafe operation.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Flue fan
  • Venturi tube
BLANK DISPLAY SCREEN

Your boiler has lost all power and is completely unresponsive, meaning it cannot provide any heating or hot water until the electrical connection or internal safety switch is restored.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat Thermostat
  • PCB
  • Ribbon Cable
BOILER OVERHEAT STAT TRIPPED

What to check first

  1. Check your bulk pellet store and hopper to confirm they are empty.
  2. Refill the pellet store with the correct grade of wood pellets.
  3. Follow the manufacturer's manual instructions to prime the feed system and reset the burner control panel.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Igniter element
  • Feed auger motor
PELLET FEED TUBE STAT TRIPPED

Your boiler has detected heat moving in the wrong direction through the pellet fuel system, which has triggered a safety shut-off to prevent fire risk.

Emergency Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Burn back thermostat
  • Delivery hose
  • Flue gas fan
PROBE FAULT

Your boiler has lost the signal from one of its internal temperature sensors, which is preventing it from heating your home safely.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness
  • Burner control unit
SERVO MOTOR BLOCKED

Your boiler has stopped working because the mechanical part responsible for feeding fuel into the fire is stuck, likely due to a build-up of ash residue.

High DIY-safe £150-300

What to check first

  1. Switch off the boiler and isolate it from the power supply.
  2. Open the front access panel to locate the burn pot or brazier.
  3. Carefully remove all ash, clinker, and residue buildup from the burn pot and the feeder channel to ensure clear movement.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pellet feed motor
  • Burner grate

15 operating states & engineer diagnostics

Not faults — these are normal operating states. Tap to expand.

03 Status Your boiler is currently idle and waiting for a signal from your thermostat or internal settings to tell it that your home needs more heat. 13 Status Your boiler is operating normally and is currently running its pellet burner to provide heat. 14 Status Your boiler is currently running a routine cleaning cycle to safely clear out any leftover fuel from the combustion chamber. 15 Status Your boiler is currently moving its internal fuel grate to prepare for the fire, and it will automatically start once the process finishes. 26 Status Your boiler is currently performing a mandatory safety cooling cycle after shutting down, so it is just waiting for a few minutes before it can restart. 40 Status Your boiler is currently busy feeding wood pellets into the combustion chamber to get the fire started. 41 Status Your boiler is struggling to get the wood pellets to catch fire, so it is currently pausing its startup process. 42 Status Your boiler is struggling to get the fire started and is slowly adding extra fuel to help build a strong flame. 45 Status Your boiler is currently monitoring the fire in the burner to ensure it stays lit after the initial ignition phase. BURNER FIRING 100% Status Your boiler is currently operating at its highest power setting to meet a high demand for heat or hot water, and this is a normal status message rather than a fault. H2o Diagnostic Your boiler is operating normally and is simply displaying the current temperature of the water inside the system. SERVICE Diagnostic Your boiler has reached its scheduled maintenance interval and is simply reminding you that it is time for a professional annual service. SET Diagnostic Your boiler is operating normally and is currently displaying the temperature you have requested it to reach. WAIT BOILER THERMOSTAT Status Your boiler is currently performing an essential safety cooling process after finishing a burn cycle; please wait a few minutes for the status message to change before attempting any interaction with the unit. WAIT PELLET THERMOSTAT Status Your boiler is currently going through its normal cooling-down process after a heating cycle and will be ready to restart shortly.
