What the manual says
Manufacturer manualFault: Fuel valve not working - Gas valve assembly stepper motor defective or not connected
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board tries to open the gas valve to start the heating process, but it receives no response from the valve's motor. The most common reason is that the internal electronic components of the gas valve have failed, or the wiring connecting it to the computer has become loose or damaged.
Engineer required
This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like F.26: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
