What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer is unable to accurately communicate with the gas valve to throttle the flame up or down. It typically happens because the electronic signals sent to regulate the fuel flow are being interrupted or misinterpreted by a failing control board. Without the ability to precisely control its power level, the boiler shuts down as a safety precaution.
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 1-b8: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
