BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler is currently taking a break because it has finished heating your home and is waiting for the next request for warmth or hot water.
This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
Technical description: Standby mode
What causes this fault?
This status occurs when the boiler has successfully met the temperature requirements set by your thermostat or timer. The system physically shuts off the burner because it has reached its target heat level and is now waiting for the house temperature to drop before starting again. It is a sign that your heating system is working efficiently and resting as intended.
DIY fix possible
Check if your thermostat is turned up high enough to trigger a demand for heatEnsure your heating programmer or timer is set to an 'On' periodWait a few minutes to see if the boiler starts automatically once the system cools down
