Call an engineer soon

Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.

Technical description: Without auxiliary function for DHW loading

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control system loses its connection to the sensor responsible for monitoring your hot water cylinder. The most common cause is a faulty temperature probe or a break in the wiring that prevents the boiler from knowing how hot your water is. Without this information, the boiler stops heating the water as a safety precaution to prevent overheating.

Typical repair cost £120-280 (including labour)
