Your boiler has detected a technical fault with its internal temperature sensors or electronic controls and has shut down as a safety precaution.
Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.
Technical description: Fault condition - check NTC sensor or control board connections.
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer can no longer accurately read the temperature of the water flowing through the system. The most common reason is that a temperature sensor has failed or become disconnected, though it can also be caused by the main control board failing to process the signal correctly.
