What causes the Worcester Bosch 1037 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board can no longer detect a signal from the sensor located on the outside of your home. The most common reasons are that the external sensor has developed an electrical fault due to moisture ingress, or the thin wiring connecting it to the boiler has become damaged or disconnected.

This fault often comes to light during autumn or winter when the boiler first attempts to use weather data to adjust your heating for the colder weather.

Typical repair cost £90-160 (including labour)
