What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board fails to receive a consistent signal from the internal temperature sensors. The most common reason is a malfunctioning sensor that provides an incorrect reading, though it can also be caused by a loose wiring connection or a developing fault on the main circuit 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.
