Technical description: Mains electricity ON.
What causes this fault?
This is not a fault, but rather a status indicator showing that the boiler is successfully receiving electrical power from your mains supply. It confirms that the internal circuitry is live and the unit is ready to operate when there is a demand for heating or hot water. If the boiler isn't firing despite this light being on, the issue likely lies with your external thermostat or a different internal component.
