What causes the Worcester Bosch 2950 B fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer tries to start the combustion process but cannot confirm that a flame has actually been lit. The most common reasons are a build-up of carbon on the sensing probes or a component failure that prevents gas from flowing correctly into the burner.

This fault is more common during the first few cold spells of autumn, as components that have been idle over summer can struggle to operate or may have become blocked by debris.

Typical repair cost £120-350 (including labour)
