What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler attempts to start up but cannot establish a stable flame to stay running. The most common reasons include a blockage in the gas supply, worn-out spark electrodes that can no longer ignite the fuel, or a control board that isn't sending the correct signals to the gas valve.

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.
