This fault should be looked at by a Gas Safe engineer within the next week or two. It may get worse if left.

Technical description: DHW thermistor fault

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the internal sensor responsible for monitoring your hot water temperature has failed or is sending incorrect readings to the main control board. The most common reason is that the sensor has suffered from electrical degradation or a minor internal leak has caused corrosion on the wiring connections. When this happens, the boiler stops heating water as a safety precaution because it can no longer accurately gauge how hot the water is.

Typical repair cost £90-160 (including labour)

Engineer required
