The 6 most common faults
Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.
Locate the external filling loop (a flexible silver hose) underneath the boiler.Open the small black or chrome valve taps attached to the loop until you hear water entering the system.Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches the green zone, typically between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close both valves tightly and ensure the pressure remains steady.
Your boiler has failed to light the flame needed to heat your home's water, which means both your heating and hot water are currently unavailable.
Full guide for A01Your boiler has detected that the water inside the system has become dangerously hot and has safely shut itself down to prevent damage.
Full guide for A02Your boiler has detected that the internal fan responsible for safely exhausting fumes is not rotating correctly or reporting its speed, so it has shut down to keep you safe.
Full guide for A03Your boiler has detected that the water inside the heating system is getting too hot or that the temperature sensors aren't reading correctly, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent damage.
Full guide for A07Your boiler has detected that the water temperature coming back into the unit is being read incorrectly or is running hotter than it should be, causing the system to stop working safely.
