What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer receives garbled or 'noisy' signals that prevent it from safely managing the burner. It is typically caused by electronic interference from a nearby appliance or a physical defect in the PCB or its unique coding card. Essentially, the boiler has lost its ability to verify its own settings and shuts down as a safety precaution.
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.
