BoilerFaultCodesTechnical description
Remaining burner anti-cycling time in min
What causes this fault?
This occurs when your boiler reaches its target temperature too quickly and needs to pause before firing up again. It is a protective measure designed to prevent 'short-cycling,' which stops the internal components from wearing out prematurely due to constant starting and stopping. The pause gives the water in your radiators time to cool down slightly so the boiler can run for a more efficient, longer period next time.
This status is more common during autumn and spring when the weather is mild and your home requires less heat than the boiler’s minimum output.
DIY fix possible
Wait for the timer to count down to zeroCheck that your room thermostat is turned upEnsure all radiator valves are fully open
