BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler is getting much hotter than it should while trying to heat your water, which usually means the heat isn't transferring correctly to your tank.
This fault should be looked at by a Gas Safe engineer within the next week or two. It may get worse if left.
Technical description: During DHW loading, the boiler water temperature is up to 20K higher than the set DHW temperature
What causes this fault?
This fault happens because the water inside the boiler is getting significantly hotter than the target temperature for your hot water tank. It is usually caused by a blockage or a mechanical failure that prevents the heat from flowing smoothly out of the boiler and into your cylinder. The most common culprits are a buildup of limescale in the heat exchanger or a diverter valve that is stuck and restricting the water flow.
