Your boiler is working normally and is currently heating 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: Central Heating being supplied
What causes this fault?
This is not a fault, but a status indicator showing that your boiler is physically operating to provide heat to your radiators. It occurs whenever your thermostat calls for warmth and the internal pump and burner activate to circulate hot water through the system. You will see this code as part of the boiler's normal daily operation during the colder months.
This code is most frequently seen during autumn and winter when the central heating is used regularly to keep the home warm.
DIY fix possible
No action is required as this is an operational status code rather than a fault.If your radiators are hot when you do not want them to be, check that your thermostat is turned down.If the code remains when the heating is turned off, check for a 'stuck' button or timer setting.
