Boiler internal fault (primary sensor fault)

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 fails to send a reliable electronic signal to the control board. It is usually caused by the internal components of the sensor wearing out over time or the electrical connections becoming loose or corroded. Because the boiler no longer knows how hot the water is, it shuts down immediately to prevent the system from overheating.

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.
