This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

Technical description

Cylinder temperature bottom: Is only displayed, if a solar module is connected.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler loses communication with the sensor located at the bottom of your solar hot water cylinder. The most common reason is a faulty temperature sensor (NTC) or a break in the wiring connecting the solar control module to the tank. While your central heating will continue to work, the system can no longer monitor how much free heat is being provided by your solar panels.

Engineer required

This fault requires a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
