Versions & GC numbers

Which version do you have?

The GC number on your boiler's data badge identifies the exact appliance and production years, as recorded in the UK Product Characteristics Database.

GC number Appliance (register name) Produced

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the system is too low for it to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £0-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop (a flexible silver hose) underneath the boiler.
  2. Slowly open the one or two taps/levers on the filling loop until you hear water entering.
  3. Watch the pressure gauge until it reaches between 1.0 and 1.5 bar, then close the taps tightly.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Expansion vessel
  • Pressure sensor

Overheat

Your boiler has switched itself off because the water inside it has become too hot, usually due to a lack of circulation or a blockage.

High DIY-safe £100-£350

What to check first

  1. Check that your radiator valves are fully open to allow water to flow.
  2. Check the boiler pressure gauge and top up to 1.5 bar if it is too low.
  3. Reset the boiler using the control knob to see if the fault clears.

Status & diagnostic codes

7 operating states & engineer diagnostics

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

30 Status Your boiler has stopped heating your radiators because it is unable to accurately measure the internal temperature of the water being sent to them. 40 Status Your boiler is struggling to accurately read the outside temperature, which may cause your heating to run inefficiently or not turn on correctly. 50 Status Your boiler is failing to confirm that the internal fan is effectively clearing waste gases, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent unsafe operation. 60 Status Your boiler is failing to light the burner, meaning it cannot produce heat or hot water because it is not sensing a flame or receiving gas properly. 70 Status Your boiler is having trouble detecting the temperature of the water used for your taps and shower, so it has stopped heating your hot water to prevent it from getting too hot. 80 Status Your boiler has detected that the water temperature has risen beyond the safe limit and has shut itself down to prevent damage. 90 Status Your boiler has detected that the water inside the system is getting too hot, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent damage.
