What the manual says
Manufacturer manualFan Connections Short Circuit
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control board detects an electrical short circuit within the fan system. It is usually caused by water ingress onto the electrical components, a degraded internal wiring harness, or a failure in the fan motor's windings. For safety, the boiler will prevent the ignition sequence until the electrical circuit is restored to a safe state.
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.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like J61: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
