BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler has detected very cold temperatures and has turned itself on automatically to prevent the internal pipes from freezing.
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: Frost protection mode
What causes this fault?
This status occurs when the internal temperature sensor within the boiler drops below 5°C. To protect itself from frost damage, the boiler automatically ignites to warm the primary heat exchanger and circulate water until a safe temperature is reached. It is a built-in safety feature rather than a mechanical failure.
This code is almost exclusively seen during winter or periods of extreme cold when the ambient temperature around the boiler drops significantly.
DIY fix possible
