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 boiler's processor detects that the fan is not rotating fast enough to safely expel waste gases from the flue. The most common reasons are a build-up of dirt within the fan housing, worn-out bearings that cause the motor to seize, or a communication failure between the fan and the main control board.

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.
