What causes this fault?

This fault happens when the boiler's internal computer tries to start the fan to clear out exhaust gases but detects that the blades aren't spinning. It is usually caused by a mechanical failure in the fan motor, loose wiring between the components, or a blown fuse that has cut off power to the fan. Without a working fan to safely remove fumes, the boiler will stay switched off as a safety precaution.

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.
