Water transducer fault

From this model's manual
Verified against the Vokera Evolve installation & service manual, page 10.
Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the internal sensor responsible for monitoring water pressure fails to send a reliable signal to the main control board. The most common cause is a component failure within the transducer itself or a loose connection in the wiring harness. Because the boiler cannot verify if there is enough water to operate safely, it shuts down to prevent internal overheating.

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.
