BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler is briefly running the pump after heating your radiators to safely move residual heat away from the unit.
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: Heatingmode:Pumpoverrun
What causes this fault?
This status occurs when the heating cycle finishes and the boiler keeps the pump spinning for a few minutes. It physically pushes the remaining hot water out of the heat exchanger and into your pipes to prevent the internal components from overheating. It is a normal safety function rather than a mechanical failure.
DIY fix possible
Check that at least one radiator (usually one without a thermostatic valve) is fully open to allow water to circulateWait for the code to clear automatically after a few minutesEnsure your system pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar on the display
