What the manual says
Manufacturer manualControl mode - Communication fault – programming unit (internal)
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the data link between the boiler's main display screen and its internal control board is interrupted. The most common reason is a loose internal connection cable or a electronic component failure within the programming unit itself. Because these two parts can no longer 'talk' to each other, the boiler cannot receive commands to provide heating or hot water.
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.
