Technical description: Control box failure
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the internal circuit board, which acts as the boiler's brain, suffers a critical electronic failure or loses its memory. The most common reasons are age-related wear to the electrical components or a power surge that has damaged the delicate circuitry. Because the board can no longer safely monitor the gas valve or sensors, it shuts the system down to prevent an accident.
