BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler's pump is set to run for a specific amount of time after the heating switches off to help the system cool down safely.
This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
Technical description: Run-on time adjustable from 1 to 15 minutes
What causes this fault?
This is not a mechanical failure but rather a custom setting that dictates how long the internal pump continues to circulate water after the burners have turned off. It is designed to dissipate residual heat from the heat exchanger to protect the internal components from overheating. If you see this code, it simply means the boiler is carrying out its programmed cooling cycle before coming to a complete stop.
