What the manual says
Manufacturer manualCommunication is interrupted.
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer can no longer 'talk' to the sensors or the thermostat that tells it when to turn on. The most common reason is a loose or damaged wiring connection inside the unit, or a internal failure on the main circuit board itself. This break in communication means the boiler enters a safety mode because it cannot guarantee it is receiving the correct operating instructions.
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.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like A8: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
