What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer experiences a software glitch or loses communication with the sensors and valves it controls. The most common reason is a momentary power fluctuation or a breakdown in the wiring connections that prevents the main control board from processing data correctly.

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.
