BoilerFaultCodesThe 6 most common faults
01
41 High DIY-safe
Your boiler is struggling to detect water moving through it, likely because the internal water pressure has dropped too low or a sensor is misreading the situation.
What to try first
Check your boiler control panel to see if the pressure gauge is below 1.0 bar.If the pressure is low, locate the filling loop (usually a silver braided hose under the boiler) and open the valves to let water in until the needle reaches 1.5 bar.Once the pressure is in the green zone, close the valves tightly and restart the boiler.
02
❍❍❍❍ (DHW) High Engineer
Your boiler is failing to detect that you have turned on the hot tap, meaning it cannot provide hot water to your home.

❍❍❍❍ (Power) High Engineer
Your boiler has lost all electrical power and cannot operate at all.

❍❍❍❍ (Flame) High Engineer
Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot detect that a flame has been successfully lit, likely due to a loose or disconnected internal wire.

12 High Engineer
Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot properly detect the temperature of the water flowing through your heating system, so it is choosing not to light for safety reasons.

13 High Engineer
Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot detect a flame, most likely due to a faulty sensor that monitors the safety of the exhaust gases.

Based on parts cited in our fault code database. Your engineer will confirm what's actually needed after diagnosis.
Call a Gas Safe engineer if…
- You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
- The Halstead shows an Emergency or High severity code
- The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
- You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
- There's visible water leaking from the boiler
- The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
