The 6 most common faults
Your boiler is struggling to push water around the system, usually because the pressure is too low or air is trapped inside the pipes.
Check your boiler's pressure gauge and ensure it reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.If the pressure is low, use the filling loop to top it up to the correct level.Bleed your radiators starting from the one furthest away to remove any trapped air.
Your boiler has detected that the water level inside the system is too low or that the internal pump is unable to circulate water effectively.
Check your boiler pressure gauge; if it is below 1 bar, use the filling loop to top up the system to 1.5 barOnce pressure is restored, reset the boiler using the reset button on the front panelIf the code persists, try turning the heating dial to maximum to see if it triggers the pump into movement
