3.3

Your boiler is failing to detect the flame needed to heat your water because the internal sensor is dirty or worn out.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Ionisation probe
  • Gasket kit
5.2

Your boiler has detected an internal communication error with its main control unit, which has caused it to stop working for safety reasons.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main printed circuit board (PCB)
  • Wiring harness
9.3

Your boiler's main computer control panel is failing to process instructions correctly, which has caused it to stop working for safety reasons.

High Engineer only £250-450

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main Electronic Control Unit (PCB)
A1

Your boiler has detected that there is not enough water circulating inside the system to keep it running safely.

High DIY-safe £80-150

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; if it is below 1 bar, your system needs to be re-pressurised.
  2. Locate the external filling loop connected to your boiler and open the valves to allow water in until the gauge reads 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the filling loop valves tightly and reset the boiler.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating pump
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Expansion vessel
A5

Your boiler is having trouble reading the temperature of the internal hot water store, so it has stopped producing hot water to prevent an error.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Hot water NTC sensor
  • Wiring harness
A7

Your boiler is currently unable to detect the temperature of your hot water, which means it has stopped providing hot water to your taps and showers.

High Engineer only £120-200

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW NTC sensor

A8

Your boiler has lost the digital connection between its internal components, meaning it has stopped working because it cannot properly coordinate its heating functions.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Wiring harness

b1

Your boiler is struggling to recognise one of its internal electrical components, which is preventing it from starting up correctly.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Coding plug
  • Main control board

Related codes

C1

Your boiler is struggling to push air through its system as required, which has caused it to switch itself off for safety.

High Engineer only £180-350
