Your boiler is currently operating normally and is providing heat to your radiators.
This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
Technical description: Boiler in heating mode / troubleshooting start state.
What causes this fault?
This is not actually a fault, but a status indicator showing the boiler is working as intended. It occurs when the central heating timer or thermostat calls for heat, signaling the internal components to begin the combustion process for your radiators. This light simply confirms the boiler has successfully fired up and is currently in its normal heating cycle.
This status is most frequently seen during autumn and winter when the heating is programmed to run for extended periods.
