BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler is in a normal operating mode, likely a service mode or a temporary state where it is monitoring its internal temperature sensors.
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: Operating mode
What causes this fault?
This code is triggered when the boiler enters a self-diagnostic or monitoring mode to check the temperature difference between its internal sensors. It often occurs if the boiler detects a rapid rise in heat and needs to briefly pause the burner to ensure water is circulating correctly. In most cases, it is a temporary state rather than a component failure.
