What the manual says
Manufacturer manualIncorrect code plug detected
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal memory chip, which stores the specific settings for your model, fails to communicate with the main control board. The most common reason is that the chip has worked loose, become corrupted by an electrical surge, or was incorrectly installed during a recent repair. Because the boiler no longer knows its own technical specifications, it 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 2946: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
