What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the electrical supply to the boiler has been wired incorrectly, meaning the live and neutral connections are reversed. It usually happens after recent electrical work near the boiler or if an external component like a pump or programmer has been replaced incorrectly. The boiler's safety system detects this mismatch and shuts down to prevent electrical damage or a safety hazard.
