What the manual says
Manufacturer manualGas–valve control – defective; Short circuit/earth (ground) leak in cable loom to gas valves, gas valve assembly defective (earth/ground leak from coils), electronic control system defective
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main computer loses the ability to send signals to the gas valve, which is the component responsible for letting fuel into the burner. The most common reason is an internal electronic failure within the gas valve itself or a fault on the main circuit board that prevents it from controlling the combustion process safely.
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.61: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
