What the manual says
Manufacturer manualeBUS error – possible short circuit
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal communication system, known as the eBUS, suffers an electrical failure or short circuit. It is often caused by moisture getting into the wiring, a loose connection to the thermostat, or even two wires touching where they shouldn't. This prevents the control board from receiving instructions, causing the system to shut down for safety.
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.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like F.49: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
