Technical description: problem with the main board exists
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler’s main control board suffers a critical electronic failure or loses communication with its internal sensors. It is usually caused by age-related degradation of the circuit components or a sudden electrical surge that damages the board's memory. Because the 'brain' can no longer guarantee the boiler is operating safely, it shuts the entire system down as a precaution.
While this can happen at any time, it is slightly more common during stormy weather when power surges or lightning strikes can cause electrical damage to the sensitive circuit board.
