Your boiler's internal computer has developed a fault and can no longer talk to the rest of the system.
Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.
Technical description: Internal fault (PCB)
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board suffers an internal electronic failure or a loss of communication with its connected sensors. It is usually caused by aging electrical components on the circuit board wearing out or, in some cases, a loose connection in the internal wiring harness. Because the 'brain' of the boiler can no longer process safety data, it shuts down the system entirely to prevent accidents.
Engineer required
This fault requires a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
