Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This occurs because the internal components of the boiler have become very hot while heating your water. The boiler is simply running the pump and fan for a short period to circulate water and air, which safely carries away that residual heat and protects the internal parts from damage. This is a normal part of the boiler's operation and not a sign of a mechanical failure.
