What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer experiences a breakdown in communication or a hardware failure on its circuitry. The most common reason is electrical degradation of the components on the board over time, or a sudden power surge that has damaged the delicate microprocessors required to control the boiler safely.
Engineer required
This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
