02

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot properly clear away exhaust fumes or draw in fresh air to burn gas safely.

High Engineer only £120-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan
  • Air pressure switch
  • Venturi tube
  • Flue seals

04

Your boiler is failing to light the gas or cannot tell that the flame has successfully ignited, meaning it won't be able to provide heating or hot water.

High DIY-safe £100-280

What to check first

  1. Check if your home gas supply is active by testing another gas appliance like a hob.
  2. Inspect the condensate pipe (plastic pipe leadings outdoors) to ensure it isn't frozen or blocked.
  3. Try to reset the boiler by turning the main dial to the reset position for five seconds and then back to the heater symbol.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrodes
  • Gas valve
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
05

Your boiler has got too hot and has shut itself down as a safety precaution to prevent damage.

High DIY-safe £120-£350

What to check first

  1. Turn the boiler off and allow it to cool down for 20 minutes.
  2. Check that your radiator valves are open and not turned to the off position.
  3. Check the boiler pressure gauge and top it up to 1.5 bar if it is too low.
  4. Press the reset button on the control panel to restart the unit.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat Thermostat
  • Circulation Pump
  • Temperature Sensor (NTC)
  • Main Heat Exchanger (if scaled)

06

Your boiler's internal temperature sensor has stopped sending the correct signal, meaning the system doesn't know how hot the water is and has shut down for safety.

High Engineer only £90-160

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central Heating (CH) thermistor
  • NTC sensor wiring harness

Related codes

07

Your boiler is struggling to accurately measure the temperature of your hot water, which usually means it cannot provide consistent or safe water temperatures.

High Engineer only £90-160

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW Thermistor (NTC Sensor)
  • Wiring harness / Connector

Related codes

08

Your boiler's hot water storage tank sensor is failing to report the correct temperature, which might lead to inconsistent or no hot water.

Medium Engineer only £110-190

Parts commonly replaced

  • Storage vessel thermistor (NTC sensor)
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

09

Your boiler has lost track of the water pressure inside the system because the internal sensor is failing or sending an incorrect signal.

High Engineer only £120-£200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Water pressure sensor
  • Sensor wiring harness
  • Main PCB

Related codes

10

Your boiler has stopped working because the fan that helps remove waste gases is not spinning correctly.

High Engineer only £200-£450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan assembly
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Air pressure switch
12

Your boiler's control panel has lost communication with the internal computer, meaning it cannot receive your instructions on how to heat your home.

High Engineer only £180-450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Digital User Interface board
  • Main Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Wiring Harness

Related codes

13

Your boiler's internal computer has developed a fault and can no longer control the heating system correctly.

High Engineer only £250-£450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
  • Wiring harness connectors
14

Your boiler has shut down because a temperature sensor has detected that the water inside is getting too hot, likely due to a circulation problem.

High DIY-safe £120-£350

What to check first

  1. Check that all radiator valves are fully open to allow water to flow.
  2. Check that the boiler pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar on the gauge.
  3. Reset the boiler using the power switch to see if the fault clears.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulation Pump
  • Overheat Thermostat (High Limit Stat)
  • Flow Temperature Sensor (NTC)

15

Your boiler has detected a problem with how it controls the gas supply, preventng it from lighting safely.

High Engineer only £180-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Gas Valve
  • Stepper Motor
  • Control Board
20

Your boiler's internal computer parts are failing to talk to each other, meaning the system cannot receive the instructions it needs to work.

High Engineer only £180-450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Interface Display Board
  • Wiring Harness

Your boiler is failing to light the flame, which is likely due to a lack of gas reaching the unit or a problem with the ignition system.

High DIY-safe £120-350

What to check first

  1. Check if other gas appliances, such as a hob, are working to confirm your gas supply is active.
  2. Verify that your gas meter has credit if you use a pre-payment meter.
  3. Check that the gas isolation valve under the boiler is in the 'on' or 'open' position (usually parallel to the pipe).
  4. Press the reset button on the boiler control panel.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Gas Valve
  • Ignition Electrode
  • Spark Generator
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
