What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses communication with the temperature sensor that monitors the heat exchanger. The most common reason is that the internal sensor component has failed due to age, or the electrical wiring connecting it to the brain of the boiler has become loose or damaged.

Typical repair cost £90-160 (including labour)
