What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer brain suffers a hardware failure or a breakdown in its electrical circuitry. The most common reason is age-related wear on the circuit board's components or a sudden voltage spike that has damaged the delicate electronics, preventing the boiler from sending signals to the burner or pump.

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.
