What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer detects that the gas valve is failing to open or close correctly during the ignition process. The most common reasons are a mechanical failure within the valve assembly, a burnt-out electrical coil, or a loose connection in the wiring harness that prevents the valve from receiving power.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
