What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the internal sensors detect that water isn't flowing away from the heat exchanger quickly enough, causing a rapid heat buildup. The most common reason is a failing circulation pump or a blockage in the system caused by a buildup of sludge and debris. It can also be triggered by air trapped within the boiler or a sensor that has become faulty and is giving incorrect readings.

This fault is more common in autumn when heating systems are turned back on after a long summer break, as pumps can seize and debris often settles while the system is inactive.

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.
