5A

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot detect that water is flowing through the system, likely due to a loose wire or a faulty sensor connection.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flow sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

10

Your boiler is confused because its outdoor weather sensor is sending a faulty signal, so it is running constantly to stay on the safe side.

Low Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Outside temperature sensor

Related codes

18

Your boiler is struggling to detect the outdoor temperature, so it has defaulted to running constantly to ensure you stay warm.

Low Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Outside temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

30

Your boiler has stopped working because it is unable to accurately measure its own internal temperature due to an electrical connection issue.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Boiler water temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

38

Your boiler has stopped working because it has lost the electronic signal from the sensor that monitors the water temperature, causing it to shut down for safety.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • NTC Temperature Sensor
  • Wiring harness
51

Your boiler has stopped producing hot water because a sensor that measures water temperature is reporting a faulty electrical signal.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW outlet temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

52

Your boiler has detected an electrical fault with the sensor that measures the flow of water, causing it to shut down for safety.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flow sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

59

Your boiler has lost the signal from the sensor that monitors your hot water temperature, so it has temporarily stopped heating the water to prevent it from overheating.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Domestic hot water temperature sensor

Related codes

A9

Your boiler has lost its digital connection to your room thermostat or smart controller, so it cannot follow your temperature settings.

Medium Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • OpenTherm Communication Module
  • PCB Control Board
  • Wiring harness
b0

Your boiler has detected a sensor error related to its exhaust system and has stopped working to keep your home safe.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue gas temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness / Cable loom

B1

Your boiler has detected a faulty sensor reading in the flue system and has automatically shut down for your safety to prevent it from firing.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue gas temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

B8

Your boiler has shut down for safety because it cannot correctly read the temperature of the exhaust fumes exiting your home.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue gas temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness
CE

Your boiler has detected an issue with a safety sensor and has locked itself out to prevent unsafe operation.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Flue gas temperature sensor
  • Ignition lead
  • Printed circuit board

E3

Your boiler has detected a safety issue and stopped working to prevent damage or dangerous conditions.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure switch
  • Limit thermostat
  • Wiring harness
  • Main control board

E5

Your boiler has detected an internal error that has forced it to stop working for safety reasons and will not restart on its own.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main circuit board (PCB)
  • Wiring harness
  • Ignition transformer

Related codes

F0

Your boiler has detected an internal error that has forced it to safely shut down, meaning it is currently unable to provide heating or hot water.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main PCB
  • Wiring harness
  • Control unit

Related codes

F1

Your boiler has automatically shut down because it detected that the exhaust gases leaving the system have become dangerously hot.

Emergency Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flue gas temperature sensor
  • Heat exchanger
  • Main circuit board

Related codes

F2

Your boiler has become too hot and has automatically turned itself off as a safety precaution to prevent damage.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Temperature limiter (STB)
  • NTC sensor
  • Pump (circulation issues)
  • Primary heat exchanger

Related codes

F3

Your boiler has detected a flame signal even though it is not currently trying to light, which means it has safely shut itself down to prevent a potentially dangerous situation.

Emergency Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ionisation electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

F4

Your boiler is failing to light because it cannot detect a flame, which means your heating and hot water have stopped working.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Ionisation probe
  • Gas valve
  • Main PCB
Showing 21–25 of 25
