BoilerFaultCodesThe 6 most common faults
01
F.22 High DIY-safe
Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low.
What to try first
Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a silver braided hose underneath the boiler.Open the valves at both ends of the hose to allow water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1 bar and 1.5 bar.Close both valves firmly and ensure the hose is disconnected if required by your specific installation.
02
