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 main temperature sensor, which monitors the heat of the water inside the unit, fails or loses connection. The most common reason is that the internal component has simply worn out over time or a wire has come loose, meaning the boiler can no longer safely regulate its own temperature.

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.
