BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler's internal computer has become confused after several reset attempts and has locked itself out for safety.
This fault should be looked at by a Gas Safe engineer within the next week or two. It may get worse if left.
Technical description: Reset error.
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's reset button has been pressed too many times in a short configuration or if the internal computer has encountered a glitch during the startup process. It is essentially a software safety lock designed to prevent the boiler from being repeatedly forced to start when a different underlying issue might be present. Usually, a full power cycle is needed to clear the memory and allow the system to try again.
DIY fix possible
