Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside your heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.
What to check first
- Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a small silver braided hose connecting two pipes under the boiler.
- Open the valves at both ends of the filling loop to allow cold mains water into the system.
- Watch the pressure gauge on the boiler front and close both valves firmly once the needle reaches the green zone, typically between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
