DIY fix possible
Turn off the boiler at its on/off switch and at the fused spur or isolator, then wait two minutes.Check the thermostat cable at the wall plate and at the boiler end for loose, damaged or disconnected wires, and reconnect any that are loose.Turn the power back on and wait around five minutes for the boiler and thermostat to re-establish communication.If the code returns or the heating still does not respond to the thermostat, call a Gas Safe registered engineer.
