Technical description

Fan and water pump running

What causes this fault?

This status occurs because your boiler needs to dissipate excess heat after you finish using hot water. The pump and fan continue to run for a short period to move heat away from the internal components and prevent any damage from overheating. Once the internal temperature has dropped to a safe level, the boiler will automatically return to its normal standby mode.

DIY fix possible

Wait 5-10 minutes for the boiler to complete its cooling cycleCheck that your radiator valves are open to allow heat to dissipateEnsure your system pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar
