What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the internal sensors detect that the water level inside your central heating system has dropped below a safe threshold. The most common reason is a slow leak from a pipe or radiator, though sometimes the pressure drops simply because air has escaped through the system's vent.

This issue is frequently seen in autumn when the heating is turned on for the first time after summer, as stagnant air bubbles move through the system or old seals begin to weep.

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.
