Fan Fault

Shared across the Logic Max Heat range
This code is shared by the boilers in this range, which use the same control board. It may not be printed in this exact variant’s manual.
Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control system loses communication with the fan or detects that it is not spinning at the required speed. The most common reasons are a mechanical failure of the fan motor itself, a loose connection in the internal wiring, or a fault on the main circuit board that prevents power from reaching the fan.

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.
