Technical description: Gas valve control defective
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses electrical communication with the gas valve or detects an incorrect voltage return. The most common reason is an internal electronic failure within the gas valve itself or a fault on the circuit board that prevents it from sending the correct signal to release gas.
Engineer required
This fault requires a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
