Technical description: PCB Programming - Off state

What causes the Zanussi oF fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer has been set to a software-off state, often following a power cut or a manual adjustment in the programming menu. Instead of a mechanical breakdown, the boiler has essentially 'forgotten' it should be running and is stuck in a standby mode. In some cases, this can also happen if the main circuit board has a glitch and requires a professional reconfiguration.

Typical repair cost £0-280 (including labour)

DIY fix possible
