Act immediately

Turn off your boiler and stop using gas appliances. Call a Gas Safe engineer now. This fault can be dangerous if ignored.

Technical description

Flame simulation: Gas valve shuts but burner surface continues to glow due to incorrect combustion / Gas valve off but leaking on shut-down - burner flame continuing.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's sensors detect a flame or intense heat inside the unit at a time when the gas should be completely shut off. The most common reason is a gas valve that is failing to close fully, allowing a small amount of fuel to continue burning, or a faulty sensor that is incorrectly reporting heat to the main control board.

Engineer required

This is a emergency severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
