What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler is manually or accidentally switched into a specific 'service mode' used by engineers to calibrate the burner. While in this state, the boiler ignores the thermostat and hot water requests to run at a fixed output for testing purposes. The most common reason is a control switch being left in the wrong position or a technical error during a recent maintenance visit.

Typical repair cost £80-130 (including labour)
