What the manual says
Manufacturer manualBoiler electr. system fault
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer parts stop talking to each other, similar to a crash on a home PC. It is usually caused by a hardware failure on the main circuit board or a loose connection in the internal wiring that prevents the boiler from sending safety signals. Because the system can no longer double-check its own safety sensors, it shuts down immediately to prevent any damage.
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.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like 2916: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
