What the manual says
Manufacturer manualFailed flue temperature – the flue sensor needs checking or replacing
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal safety system can no longer accurately measure the temperature of the exhaust gases leaving the flue. The most common reason is that the sensor itself has degraded or developed a short circuit, causing it to send an incorrect signal to the main control board. If the boiler cannot verify that these gases are within a safe temperature range, it will shut down to prevent potential damage to the internal components.
Engineer required
This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like 31: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
