What the manual says
Manufacturer manualCode plug not detected .
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control board loses communication with a small, removable chip called the code plug. It is usually caused by the plug vibrating loose over time or failing due to a hardware fault on the main circuit board. Without this chip, the boiler cannot verify which model it is or what safety settings to use, so it shuts down immediately.
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.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like B1: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
