What causes this fault?

The most common reason is a power surge or a physical failure of the memory chip on the main circuit board, which prevents the boiler from knowing its own operating instructions.

Typical repair cost £100-£350 (including labour)

DIY fix possible

Turn the boiler power switch to the 'OFF' position.Wait for approximately 30 seconds.Switch the boiler back to 'ON' and see if the E 60 code clears.
