Technical description

Sensor fault S2

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer receives an incorrect or missing signal from the return temperature sensor. The most common reason is that the sensor itself has worn out and failed, though it can also be caused by loose wiring or water damage to the electrical connections inside the casing.

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.
