BoilerFaultCodesThis light simply shows that your boiler is trying to light itself, which is a normal part of its startup sequence.
This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
Technical description: Flashes to indicate ignition operation (stops after detection)
What causes this fault?
This indicator is triggered when the boiler's control box sends a high-voltage spark to the burner to start the heating process. It is a normal function that occurs every time the boiler fires up and should disappear as soon as a flame is detected. If the light continues to flash without the boiler firing, it usually means the gas is not igniting or the sensor cannot see the flame.
