What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer loses communication with the sensor that measures the heat of the water heading to your radiators. The most common reason is that the sensor has physically failed or developed a short circuit, though it can also be caused by loose or damaged wiring connecting the sensor to the main control board.

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.
