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 fails its internal safety checks during the startup sequence. It is often caused by a communication error between the electrical components or a physical failure within the printed circuit board itself. In some cases, a power surge or moisture ingress can damage the delicate circuitry, leading to this total system shutdown.

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.
