What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer is unable to stabilize the flame at its lowest power setting, often due to an incorrect mix of gas and air. The most common reason is a drifting gas valve or a worn ignition electrode that can no longer accurately detect the small flame needed for low-demand heating. If the electronic control board cannot safely regulate this flow, it shuts the system down to prevent internal damage.

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.
