Technical description: All power off.
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's electrical heartbeat is interrupted, preventing the control system from waking up. The most common reason is a blown internal fuse or a failed main circuit board that can no longer distribute power. Occasionally, this is triggered by an external issue like a tripped circuit breaker or a faulty transformer failing to convert the voltage correctly.
This issue is more common during the autumn and winter months when electrical surges from storms or increased demand on the grid can damage sensitive internal components like the circuit board.
DIY fix possible
