What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control system fails to detect a flame after several ignition attempts. The most common reasons include a lack of gas reaching the burner, worn-out ignition components that can't create a spark, or a sensor that is too dirty to 'see' the flame even if it has lit.
This fault is frequently seen during extreme cold spells, as a frozen condensate pipe can back up and prevent the boiler from lighting.
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.
