Your boiler is currently performing an internal health check on its sensors and has temporarily paused heating and hot water to ensure everything is functioning safely.

Monitor it

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

Automatic test programme: Water pressure sensor, heating and hot water request blocked.

DIY fix possible

Wait for the boiler to complete the automatic test cycle (usually takes a few minutes).Monitor the display to see if the boiler returns to a normal status code (e.g., S.0 or S.4).If the code persists for over 15 minutes, try a manual reset via the button with the flame symbol.
