From this model's manual
Verified against the Ideal Mexico He installation & service manual, page 45.
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board suffers an internal electronic failure or loses communication with its sensors. The most common reason is age-related wear on the electrical components or a sudden power surge that has damaged the delicate circuitry. Because the board can no longer safely monitor the flame or water temperature, it shuts the system down 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.
