Technical description: Live on neutral connection Correct fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler detects that the electrical supply wires are reversed, meaning the 'live' and 'neutral' power lines are connected to the wrong terminals. The most common reason is recent electrical work elsewhere in the property or a failing main control board that can no longer correctly identify the incoming power signal.
