BoilerFaultCodesTechnical description
Exhaust gas temperature sensor error – excessive temperature alarm.
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the gases leaving your boiler's exhaust system become too hot, which can damage internal components. The most common reasons are a significant buildup of debris or limescale inside the heat exchanger or a blockage in the flue pipe that prevents heat from escaping properly. In some cases, the sensor itself may have failed and is sending an incorrect temperature reading to the boiler's computer.
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.
