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 loses its physical or wireless connection to the wall thermostat, leaving it unable to receive an instruction to start. The most common reasons are dead batteries in the room thermostat or a loose wire in the terminal block where the controls connect to the boiler. In some cases, it can be caused by signal interference or a hardware failure within the thermostat unit itself.

This fault is often noticed during the first cold spell of autumn when homeowners try to turn their heating back on after a long summer of inactivity.

DIY fix possible

Check if your room thermostat is switched on and hasn't run out of batteries.Ensure the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.If using a wireless thermostat, check that the receiver next to the boiler is showing power and try re-pairing the device.
