Your boiler has detected an electrical fault with an internal temperature sensor, preventing the system from monitoring heat levels safely.

Call an engineer soon

Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24 to 48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.

Technical description

Short circuit of the temperature sensor at the heating block – temperature sensor may need replacing

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer receives an incorrect electrical signal from the sensor that monitors the water temperature. This is usually caused by the sensor failing internally due to age or heat stress, or moisture getting into the electrical connections and causing a short circuit.

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.
