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 control board suffers a hardware failure and can no longer process data or send signals to other components. It is often caused by an electrical surge or the natural degradation of the solder joints and capacitors on the circuit board over time. Because the board acts as the brain of the system, the boiler stops immediately to prevent unpredictable or unsafe operation.

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.
