Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This status occurs because the internal components of your boiler become very hot while heating your shower or taps. The boiler needs to keep the pump and fan running for a short period to move that heat away and prevent the system from overheating. It is a normal part of the boiler's operation and ensures the longevity of the internal parts.

DIY fix possible

No action is required; this is a normal operating status and not a fault.Wait a few minutes for the boiler to complete the cooling cycle.Check that your hot water taps are fully closed.
