GREEN LED On every 0.5-secs

Your boiler has paused because it has detected a temporary issue, likely due to low water pressure or an intake problem, and is waiting for the condition to clear.

High DIY-safe £0-180

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; it should be between 1 and 1.5 bar.
  2. If the pressure is too low, use the filling loop valves to top up the system.
  3. Ensure the external flue terminal is not blocked by leaves, debris, or snow.
  4. Turn the mode selector switch to 'OFF/RESET' for a few seconds and then back to 'ON'.

Parts commonly replaced

Pressure < 0.5 bar

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside your heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £80-150

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver hose with one or two valves underneath the boiler.
  2. Slowly open the valve(s) to let mains water into the system until the pressure gauge needle sits between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the valve(s) tightly and check that the boiler restarts.
