This fault occurs when the boiler's control system fails to confirm that a flame has successfully lit after opening the gas valve. The most common reasons are a worn-out sensor that can no longer 'see' the flame, or a fault within the gas valve preventing fuel from reaching the burner. Over time, soot buildup or moisture can also interfere with the electrical signal required to keep the boiler running.
