What the manual says
Manufacturer manualFan Fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer can no longer control or receive speed signals from the fan that removes combustion gases. The most common reason is that the fan motor has physically burnt out or suffered a mechanical failure, though it can also be caused by loose electrical connections or a fault on the main control board. For safety, the boiler will stop firing immediately if it cannot confirm the fan is spinning at the correct speed.
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 F3: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
