The 6 most common faults
Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low.
Locate the filling loop (a silver flexible hose) underneath the boiler.Open the small valve or tap on the loop to allow mains water into the boiler.Monitor the pressure gauge on the front until it reaches 1.5 bar, then turn the valve firmly off.
Your boiler is struggling to move water around the system fast enough, likely due to low water pressure or a blockage.
Check your boiler pressure gauge; if it is below 1 bar, use the filling loop to top it up to 1.5 barEnsure all radiator valves are fully openTurn the boiler off and back on again to reset the temporary fault
Your boiler is trying to start but the flame is not catching, meaning it cannot provide you with heating or hot water.
