Technical description: Check wirings

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's central brain loses communication with its internal sensors or components due to a break in the electrical path. It is most commonly caused by loose plugs, damaged wiring, or moisture causing a short circuit on the control board. Without a solid electrical connection, the boiler cannot verify that it is safe to fire up, so it shuts down as a precaution.

Typical repair cost £90-250 (including labour)
