Technical description: No power at control board
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's electrical circuit is broken, preventing the internal components from receiving the electricity they need to operate. The most common reason is a blown fuse on the main control board, often caused by a power surge or a failing internal part like a pump or valve short-circuiting the system.
DIY fix possible
Check if your home's main electrical consumer unit (fuse box) has tripped a circuit.Locate the boiler's fused spur (a wall switch near the boiler) and ensure it is switched on.Check the fuse inside the wall-mounted spur switch and replace it with a 3-amp fuse if necessary.
