Your boiler has reached an unsafe temperature and has shut itself down to prevent damage to the internal components.

High DIY-safe £120-350

What to check first

  1. Check if any radiator valves have been accidentally closed and open them fully
  2. Ensure your system pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar on the pressure gauge
  3. Gently bleed your radiators to remove any trapped air that might be blocking water flow

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulating pump
  • Overheat thermostat
  • Heat exchanger cleaning/replacement

Incorrect water flow rate

Your boiler is struggling to detect the flow of water needed to heat your taps, usually because the incoming water supply is restricted or a internal sensor is stuck.

High DIY-safe £120-250

What to check first

  1. Check that the isolation valve on the cold water mains pipe leading to your boiler is fully open.
  2. Check all taps in your home to ensure you have normal mains water pressure.
  3. Restart the boiler using the reset button to see if it clears the temporary fault.

Parts commonly replaced
