This boiler uses LED flash patterns

Count the flashes in one repeating group before the pause. That number is your fault code. Do not reset until you have noted it. How to read fault codes →

Flashing 30

Your boiler has lost the ability to accurately measure the temperature of the water being sent to your radiators, so it has purposefully shut down to prevent overheating.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central Heating NTC sensor
Flashing 40

Your boiler is struggling to detect the outside temperature, so it is defaulting to a basic setting to keep your home warm.

Low Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Outdoor temperature sensor
  • Wiring loom
Flashing 50

Your boiler is failing to detect the airflow required for safe combustion, which is preventing it from starting up properly.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Flue fan
  • Venture pipe

Flashing 60

Your boiler has failed to light the flame properly and has safely shut itself down to prevent a build-up of gas.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Printed circuit board

Related codes

Flashing 70

Your boiler is struggling to detect the temperature of your hot water, which may cause your taps to run cold or prevent the hot water from switching on reliably.

Medium Engineer only £120-180

Parts commonly replaced

  • Domestic Hot Water (DHW) NTC Thermistor
Flashing 80

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £80-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver hose under the boiler connecting two pipes.
  2. Open the attached valves slowly to allow mains water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close both valves tightly and ensure no water is leaking from the connection points.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Expansion vessel

F1

Your boiler is trying to start up but cannot light the gas flame needed to produce heat.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition lead
  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • PCB

Related codes

F2

Your boiler has lost the ability to accurately measure the water temperature, so it has safely shut down to prevent overheating.

High Engineer only £120-180

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central Heating (CH) NTC Sensor
  • Wiring harness

Lock-out

Your boiler has stopped working as a safety precaution because it either failed to light or became too hot.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Overheat thermostat
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Low water pressure

Your boiler has switched itself off because the water level inside the heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £80-150

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a silver braided hose under the boiler.
  2. Open the small valve or tap attached to the loop slowly, allowing water to enter the system while watching the pressure gauge.
  3. Stop filling once the needle reaches the green zone, typically between 1.0 and 1.5 bar, then ensure the valve is fully closed.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure sensor
  • Expansion vessel

Related codes

Overheat

Your boiler has detected that it is getting dangerously hot and has automatically shut itself down to prevent damage.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat thermostat
  • Pump
  • Diverter valve
  • Primary heat exchanger
