What the manual says

Manufacturer manual

Printed circuit board (PCB) fault

Shared across the range
This code is shared by the boilers in this range, which use the same control board. It may not be printed in this exact variant’s manual.
Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the main control board's internal components or solder joints fail due to age, heat stress, or minor electrical surges. Because this part acts as the boiler's brain, any breakdown in its circuitry means it can no longer safely coordinate ignition or monitor safety sensors.

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.
