02

Your boiler has sensed it is getting too hot, usually because the water inside isn't moving around the system correctly.

High DIY-safe £120-350

What to check first

  1. Check that your radiator valves and the boiler isolation valves are fully open
  2. Ensure your system water pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar on the pressure gauge
  3. Wait for the boiler to cool down completely, then turn the control knob to the 'Reset' position for a few seconds

04

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure is too low or your water isn't moving through the system properly to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £60-220

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; it should be between 1 and 1.5 bar.
  2. If the pressure is low, use the filling loop valves under the boiler to top it up until the needle reaches 1.2 bar.
  3. Turn the mode selector switch to the 'OFF/RESET' position and then back to 'ON' to clear the fault.

Your boiler is failing to light the gas or cannot stay lit, meaning you currently have no heating or hot water.

High DIY-safe £125-£350

What to check first

  1. Check if other gas appliances, like a hob, are working to ensure gas is being supplied to the home.
  2. Ensure your gas meter has credit if you are on a pre-payment meter.
  3. Press the 'Reset' button on the front of the boiler once to see if the system restarts.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition Electrode
  • Gas Valve
  • Flame Sensing Lead
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure inside the system is too low and has switched itself off as a safety precaution.

High DIY-safe £0-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop (the flexible silver hose) underneath or near the boiler
  2. Slowly open the one or two taps/valves until you hear water entering
  3. Watch the pressure gauge until it reaches between 1 and 1.5 bar, then close the valves tightly
