High DIY-safe £120-220

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; it should be between 1 and 1.5 bar.
  2. If the pressure is below 1 bar, use the filling loop underneath the boiler to carefully top it up.
  3. If the pressure is already correct, try resetting the boiler to clear a temporary sensor glitch.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Water pressure transducer
  • Filling loop valve
