What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the main brain of the boiler loses touch with the display panel where you adjust your settings. The most common reason is a physical hardware failure within the control unit itself or a loose internal wiring connection that prevents data from flowing back and forth. Because the display can no longer tell the boiler what to do, the system shuts down for safety.
