What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's two main 'brains'—the primary control board and the display board—stop talking to each other. It is usually caused by a loose internal connection, a glitch in the software, or a component failure on one of the electronic circuit boards. Think of it like a computer crashing because two internal parts can no longer share information.

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.
