0 then 8

Your boiler has detected that waste water cannot drain away properly, likely due to a blockage or frozen external pipe, causing it to shut down for safety.

High DIY-safe £80-150

What to check first

  1. Locate the plastic pipe exiting your property wall specifically for the boiler condensation.
  2. If it is freezing outside, carefully pour warm (not boiling) water over the pipe to thaw any potential ice blockages.
  3. Once the pipe is clear, reset your boiler to see if the fault code clears.
