What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer tries to start the heating process but detects that the fan isn't reaching the necessary speed to clear out exhaust gases. The most common reasons are a build-up of debris causing the fan to stick, a failure in the fan's motor, or a loose electrical connection between the fan and the main control board.
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.
