02

Your boiler has shut down because it has detected an overheating issue and has locked itself for safety.

High DIY-safe £100-£350

What to check first

  1. Check that your home's radiator valves are open and not turned to the lowest setting.
  2. Ensure there is enough pressure in the system by checking the digital or needle gauge.
  3. Press the Reset button on the boiler control panel to see if the fault clears.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulation pump
  • Overheat thermostat
  • Temperature sensors (NTC)
35

Your boiler has failed to ignite and cannot provide heating or hot water, likely because it hasn't detected a flame after several attempts.

High Engineer only £120-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrodes
  • Gas valve
  • Ionisation lead
  • PCB
A2

Your boiler has stopped working because the fan is unable to clear air from the combustion chamber properly.

High Engineer only £180-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan assembly
  • Air pressure switch
  • Main PCB
F2

Your boiler has automatically shut down for safety because it detected that it has become dangerously overheated.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Temperature limiter
  • Central heating pump
  • Diverter valve
  • NTC sensor

F3

Your boiler has detected a flame signal before it has even attempted to ignite, which means it has safely shut down to prevent a dangerous buildup of gas.

Emergency Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ionisation electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Printed circuit board

Related codes

F4

Your boiler has failed to light the gas flame required to provide heating and hot water.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Ionisation probe

Related codes

F5

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Flue fan
  • Venting seals

Related codes

F30

Your boiler has stopped working because a sensor that measures water temperature is providing an incorrect signal, causing the system to shut down for safety.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • NTC Temperature Sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

F38

Your boiler has stopped working because it has lost the connection to the sensor that monitors the internal water temperature.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

F50

Your boiler has stopped heating your domestic hot water because it is having trouble reading the temperature signal from the water cylinder sensor.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW cylinder temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

F51

Your boiler has detected a faulty connection in the sensor that monitors the temperature of your hot water, which is preventing the system from heating water for your taps.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • Domestic Hot Water (DHW) temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

F58

Your boiler has lost the connection to the temperature sensor that tells it when your hot water cylinder needs heating, so it has stopped heating your water to prevent potential overheating.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW cylinder temperature sensor
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

F59

Your boiler has lost the signal from the sensor that monitors your hot water temperature, so it has stopped heating water to prevent the system from overheating.
