Technical description

Boiler electr. system fault

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer is unable to communicate with its electrical components, effectively causing the system to lose its 'train of thought'. The most common reason is a hardware failure within the main circuit board or a loose connection in the wiring that links the various sensors together. Because the boiler can no longer verify that it is operating safely, it shuts down immediately to prevent 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.
