BoilerFaultCodesThis is not a fault; it is simply a diagnostic screen displaying how many hours your boiler has spent running the central heating.
This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
Technical description: Operating hours heating
What causes this fault?
This is not a mechanical failure or a sign of a broken part. It is a diagnostic status code that appears when you access the information menu to track how much work the boiler has done. The display simply shows the total cumulative number of hours the system has been active in central heating mode since it was first installed.
