What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the sensor responsible for measuring the temperature of your hot water fails to provide a consistent reading to the boiler's control board. The most common reason is that the internal components of the sensor have degraded over time, though it can also be triggered by a loose or damaged connection in the electrical wiring. As a safety precaution, the boiler stops heating water to prevent it from becoming dangerously hot or staying stone cold.
