What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control system attempts to start the heating process but cannot detect a stable flame. The most common reasons are a worn-out component that creates the spark, a failure in the valve that delivers gas to the burner, or a fault within the main control board that manages the ignition sequence.

Typical repair cost £120-350 (including labour)
