Technical description: internal fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board suffers a hardware failure or loses the ability to communicate with the internal sensors. The most common reason is electrical component degradation over time, which prevents the 'brain' of the unit from safely managing the ignition and heating process.
Engineer required
