Technical description: Internal fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's central control system suffers a communication breakdown between its internal electronic components. It is typically caused by a critical failure within the main circuit board or the digital display unit, meaning the boiler can no longer safely manage the heating process. In some cases, a sudden power surge or moisture ingress can damage these sensitive parts, leading to a complete system freeze.
DIY fix possible
Locate the Reset button on the boiler's front control panel.Press and hold Reset for three seconds.Wait for the boiler to complete its restart sequence to see if the error clears.
