Technical description
Pump and fan running (warm start)
What causes this fault?
This code appears when the boiler activates its pre-heat function to ensure hot water is delivered to your taps as quickly as possible. It is a standard operational sequence where the pump and fan run briefly to warm up the internal heat exchanger. Your boiler hasn't stopped working; it is simply preparing itself for use.
DIY fix possible
