Technical description: Fan has stopped during appliance operation
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control system loses the signal that the fan is spinning, causing the unit to shut down for safety. The most common reason is that the fan motor has burnt out or become physically seized, though it can also be caused by a communication failure where the circuit board can no longer send power to the fan.
