Technical description: Wiring fault

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal components stop talking to each other correctly, effectively causing a breakdown in communication between the electronic 'brain' and the sensors. The most common reason is a loose connection in the internal wiring or a specific electronic failure on the main circuit board that prevents it from sending commands.

Typical repair cost £120-350 (including labour)
