Monitor it

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.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer keeps the water pump running indefinitely because it hasn't received the signal to tell it the heating cycle has finished. The most common reason is a communication error between the main circuit board and the pump, or an electrical component on the board getting stuck in the 'on' position. While the boiler may still function, this constant running puts unnecessary wear on the pump and wastes electricity.

DIY fix possible
