Flash 4 times per second

Your boiler has detected an internal communication or airflow issue that has caused it to shut down for safety.

High Engineer only £120-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Fan
  • Air Pressure Switch
  • NTC Sensor
  • PCB
Flash 8 times per second

Your boiler has been left in a service mode used for testing, meaning it is currently stuck running at a constant power level instead of operating normally.

Medium Engineer only £90-160

Parts commonly replaced

  • Gas Valve
  • Control Board
Flash once per second

Your boiler has stopped working because it has failed to light or has detected a dangerous build-up of heat.

High DIY-safe £120-450

What to check first

  1. Check that your gas supply is turned on (e.g., check other gas appliances)
  2. Check the pressure gauge is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar
  3. Press and hold the reset button for five seconds

Parts commonly replaced

  • Gas valve
  • Spark electrode
  • Circulation pump
  • Overheat thermostat
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
LED 4 flash/second

Your boiler has detected an issue with the sensor that manages your hot water, meaning you will likely only have heating or very inconsistent water temperatures.

Medium Engineer only £90-160

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW Temperature Sensor (Thermistor)
  • Wiring harness
Air flow fault

Your boiler is failing to clear combustion fumes properly and has automatically shut down to keep your home safe.

Emergency Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Flue fan
  • Venturi

F1

Your boiler has stopped working because one of its internal electrical safety fuses has blown, preventing the system from powering up.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • 2A Glass fuse
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
F2

Your boiler has lost electrical power to its internal control board due to a blown safety fuse, meaning it cannot operate until the circuit is restored.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • 1.25A Glass Fuse
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Your boiler has stopped working because it failed to light the flame, which means your heating and hot water have turned off for safety.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Ignition lead
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

lock-out

Your boiler is failing to light the flame, which means it has stopped working to keep you safe.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Flame rectification probe
LOCKOUT

Your boiler has stopped working because it failed to successfully light its internal flame.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Gas valve
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Limit thermostat
No CH function (DHW OK)

Your boiler is providing hot water normally, but is not receiving the signal to turn on the central heating due to a control or wiring issue.

Medium DIY-safe £90-280

What to check first

  1. Ensure your wall thermostat is turned up higher than the current room temperature.
  2. Check that your heating programmer or timer is set to 'ON' or 'AUTO'.
  3. Replace the batteries in your wireless room thermostat if it has them.

Parts commonly replaced

  • External Room Thermostat
  • Heating Programmer
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
No DHW function (CH OK)

Your boiler is providing central heating but is failing to detect when you turn on a hot tap, meaning you have no hot water.

High Engineer only £140-£320

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW Flow Sensor
  • Hot Water Temperature Sensor (NTC)
  • Main Control Board
Overheat cut-off

Your boiler has detected that it is getting too hot and has automatically shut itself down to prevent damage.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat thermostat
  • Pump
  • Diverter valve
  • Primary heat exchanger
Water temperature too cool

Your boiler is struggling to reach the temperature you have set because it is not receiving enough gas or is failing to detect the water flow correctly.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Gas valve
  • Flow sensor
  • Main printed circuit board (PCB)
Water temperature too hot

Your boiler has sensed that the water inside it is getting dangerously hot and has shut itself down to prevent damage.
