Technical description: Reset button pressed by mistake
What causes this fault?
This code is triggered when the boiler's reset button is pressed and held for more than 15 seconds, or if it is pressed while the system is already functioning correctly. It is effectively a safety safeguard that prevents the internal electronics from being confused by excessive manual input. In most cases, it simply means the button was pushed by mistake during cleaning or while trying to clear a different notification.
DIY fix possible
Press the reset button once more firmly and release it.Wait for the boiler to complete its restart sequence.Ensure you do not hold the button down for more than a few seconds.
