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 receives an incorrect or missing signal from the sensor that monitors hot water leaving the unit. It is usually caused by the sensor itself failing due to age, or a loose connection in the internal wiring preventing the computer from reading the temperature accurately.

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.
