Technical description: Fan tacho signal fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main computer loses track of how fast the internal fan is spinning, which is a vital safety check before the burner can ignite. The most common reason is a communication failure caused by worn-out bearings in the fan motor or a loose electrical connection in the wiring. Without an accurate speed reading, the boiler shuts down to prevent dangerous exhaust gases from building up inside the unit.
