01

Your boiler is failing to light the flame needed to produce heat or hot water, meaning it has safely shut itself down to prevent a gas buildup.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Control board (PCB)

Related codes

04

Your boiler has detected that it is running too hot and has automatically shut itself down to prevent any damage or safety issues.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat thermostat
  • Central heating pump
  • System filter

Related codes

06

Your boiler is struggling to detect the temperature of the water being heated for your taps, which means it has stopped producing hot water to prevent internal overheating.

High Engineer only £120-180

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW NTC thermistor
  • Wiring harness
12

Your boiler has detected that the water temperature is not rising as expected, likely because of a faulty sensor or a problem with water flowing through the system.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • NTC heating sensor
  • Central heating pump
17

Your boiler has detected an issue with the internal air circulation fan, which is preventing it from safely lighting and operating.

High Engineer only £180-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan assembly
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Wiring harness
28

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot detect enough water pressure inside the system to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £90-250

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of your boiler to see if it is below 1.0 bar.
  2. If low, use your internal filling loop or external key to top up the system pressure to between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Turn the boiler off and back on again to clear the fault code.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure sensor
  • Central heating pump
  • Pressure relief valve
30

Your boiler has detected that the temperature of the gases leaving your flue is abnormal, so it has stopped working for your safety.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue gas temperature sensor
  • PCB
  • Heat exchanger

Related codes

31

Your boiler has detected that the temperature in the exhaust pipe is not what it expects, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent overheating.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue sensor
  • Wiring harness

E1

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot light or stay lit, meaning it is currently unable to provide heating or hot water.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
E8

Your boiler has stopped working because the internal water pressure has dropped too low to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £80-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop (a flexible metal hose with one or two valves) underneath the boiler.
  2. Open the valve(s) slowly to allow cold mains water into the system.
  3. Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches the green zone (typically 1.0 to 1.5 bar).
  4. Close the valve(s) tightly and ensure no water is leaking from the connection.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure gauge
  • Expansion vessel
