Technical description
Eliminate the extraneous light
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal light sensor detects a flame or light source before the ignition process has even started. The most common reasons are a faulty sensor sending a false signal, a leaking fuel valve allowing a stray flame to persist, or light leaking into the burner housing through damaged seals.
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.
