What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer experiences a major communication breakdown or a physical failure within its circuitry. The most common reason is that the electronic components on the main control board have worn out or suffered a voltage spike, preventing the boiler from safely managing the heating process.

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.
