Technical description

Parametrizing error (PCB)

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board suffers a memory glitch or software failure, causing it to 'forget' how it should operate. This is often triggered by sudden electrical fluctuations, such as a power surge or a failing internal wire harness that disrupts the data flow to the computer chip.

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.
