BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler has failed while running a specific test used for commissioning or high-power performance checks.
This fault should be looked at by a Gas Safe engineer within the next week or two. It may get worse if left.
Technical description: Maximum load test program error
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal diagnostic program fails to complete its high-performance test correctly. It is usually triggered manually by an engineer during a service or installation, and the error suggests that the system couldn't maintain the required heat output to finish the check. The most common reason is a sensor reading an unexpected temperature or the test being interrupted before the sequence was finished.
DIY fix possible
