What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer stops receiving a reliable signal from the sensor that monitors your tap water temperature. The most common reason is that the sensor has physically degraded or developed an electrical short, preventing it from telling the boiler to turn the burner on for hot water.
