Technical description: Sensor temperature limitations

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the main control board receives a signal from a temperature sensor that is far beyond the expected range, suggesting the component has failed or its connection is broken. It is usually caused by an internal short-circuit in the sensor or a loose wire in the harness that prevents the boiler from accurately monitoring heat levels. As a safety measure, the system stops firing to prevent potential overheating or damage to the heat exchanger.

Typical repair cost £120-£220 (including labour)
