What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler loses its connection to the sensor responsible for monitoring the hot water storage temperature. The most common reason is a physical failure of the internal sensor probe or damage to the wiring harness, causing an electrical 'break' that prevents the control board from receiving data.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
