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 when the boiler's internal sensors detect that the central heating system does not currently need any more heat. It usually means your room thermostat has reached its target temperature or your external programmer is in an 'off' period. The boiler is simply sitting in standby mode waiting for the temperature to drop or for the timer to click back on.

This code is frequently seen during the spring and summer months when the weather is warmer and the heating is used less often.

DIY fix possible

Check your room thermostat is turned up higher than the current room temperatureEnsure your heating programmer or timer is set to an 'On' periodReplace the batteries in your wireless thermostat if the screen is blank
