What causes this fault?
This status occurs because your boiler is designed to prioritise heating your hot water tank over your radiators. It physically closes a mixing valve to direct all available heat to your water cylinder, ensuring you have a full tank of hot water as quickly as possible. Once the water tank reaches its target temperature, the boiler will automatically switch back to heating your home.
DIY fix possible
