What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler generates more heat than the system can successfully carry away, leading to a sudden temperature spike. The most common cause is a restriction in water flow, often due to a failing internal pump or a buildup of sludge and debris blocking the main heat exchanger. It essentially means the boiler is working too hard to push heat into a system that isn't circulating properly.
This issue often becomes more apparent during winter when the boiler is required to run at higher power levels for longer periods to meet central heating demands.
