BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler is currently moving water through the system to prepare for heating or to cool itself down after use.
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: Pump running
What causes this fault?
This is a normal operational status rather than a fault, occurring when the boiler's internal pump circulates water around your radiators or cylinder. It most commonly happens during a 'pre-run' to ensure everything is safe before the burner ignites, or as an 'overrun' to dissipate heat after the heating has turned off.
DIY fix possible
Wait for 5-10 minutes as the boiler is likely just finishing a cycleCheck that your room thermostat is set to your desired temperatureEnsure there is water pressure in the system if you have a gauge visible
