The 6 most common faults
01
é7 High DIY-safe
Your boiler has detected that the water pressure inside the system is far too low to function safely.
What to try first
Locate the filling loop (usually two silver taps connected by a braided hose) underneath the boiler.Gradually open the taps to let mains water into the heating system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close both taps tightly and check the display to see if the error has cleared.
02
E2 High Engineer

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…
- You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
- The Remeha shows an Emergency or High severity code
- The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
- You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
- There's visible water leaking from the boiler
- The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
