What the manual says
Manufacturer manualPrinted circuit board (PCB) unconfigured or fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's central control board loses its identity or suffers a data communication failure, preventing it from managing the gas valve and pumps. The most common reason is a hardware failure within the motherboard or a missing configuration chip, which acts like a memory card telling the boiler exactly which model it is. It can also be triggered by a sudden power surge or electrical interference that corrupts the board's stored settings.
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 L8: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
