What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board suffers a critical electronic failure, essentially losing its ability to process data or talk to the sensors. The most common reason is an electrical surge or a component failure within the circuit board's internal memory. Because the 'brain' of the boiler can no longer guarantee safe operation, it shuts the system down entirely.

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.
