What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board receives a corrupt electrical signal from the flame sensing system, making it unable to verify if the burner is safely lit. The most common reason is a communication failure within the internal circuitry, often caused by a short circuit or a component failure on the printed circuit board itself.
