Technical description: Heatingmode:Pump/fanoverrun
What causes this fault?
This is a normal part of the boiler's operation and occurs when the heating has finished its cycle. The boiler keeps the internal pump and fan running for a few minutes to dissipate residual heat and safely cool down the internal components. It is not a breakdown and the system will resume normal operation as soon as the cooling process is complete.
