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 boiler's internal computer receives an unexpected reading from a safety sensor, such as the water pressure being too low or the fan not moving air correctly. The boiler enters a temporary standby mode to prevent damage while it waits for the system conditions to return to normal. The most common reason is a simple drop in system pressure that requires the heating loop to be topped up with water.

DIY fix possible

Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; if it is below 1 bar, top it up to 1.5 bar using the filling loop.Ensure the blue mode selector switch is set to the 'ON' or 'DHW' position.Turn the selector dial to 'Reset' for a few seconds and then back to your desired setting.
