Technical description
If an obstruction, even partial, of the flue occurs for any reason whatsoever, and causes reduction of the air flow rate, the built-in safety system of the boiler will be tripped: the burner will turn OFF and the fan will continue to run.
Engineer required
This is a emergency severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
