The Response range comes in 3 types

Pick the one you have. The fault codes, GC numbers and manual differ by type.

Each model has its own manual A family spans several manuals, one per model or generation. Pick your model above and its page has the manual its fault codes were read from.

This boiler uses LED flash patterns

Count the flashes in one repeating group before the pause. That number is your fault code. Do not reset until you have noted it. How to read fault codes →

85

Your boiler is struggling to light or keep a flame burning correctly because the gas and air mixture isn't balanced.

High Engineer only £120-350 Shared across the Response range

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flame sensing electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Burner
LED 2 on PCB 41 lit

Your boiler is failing to ignite or stay lit, meaning you will not have any heating or hot water until the issue is resolved.

High Engineer only £120-350 Shared across the Response range

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ionisation Probe
  • Gas Valve
  • Ignition Lead
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Low system pressure

Your boiler has stopped working because the water level inside the system has dropped too low and needs topping up.

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop (usually a silver flexible hose) underneath the boiler.
  2. Slowly open the one or two small tap handles until you hear water running.
  3. Watch the pressure gauge and close the taps firmly once it reaches between 1 and 1.5 bar.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop valve
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Expansion vessel
Mains fuse F2 on PCB 40 blown

Your boiler has lost power because an internal fuse has blown, likely caused by an electrical fault in the pump.
