Technical description: Pressure Transmitter ‘Huba’Red

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the internal sensor responsible for monitoring water pressure fails to send a reliable signal to the boiler’s main control board. The most common reason is that the sensor has developed an electrical fault or has become blocked with debris from the heating system, making it impossible for the boiler to confirm there is enough water to operate safely.

Typical repair cost £140-£210 (including labour)
