Two red lights flash rapidly

Your boiler's internal settings dial has been accidentally moved into an active testing mode instead of its normal operating position.

Low DIY-safe

What to check first

  1. Locate the plastic mode adjustment dial, usually found behind the drop-down control flap on the front of the boiler.
  2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently turn the dial out of the MAX or MIN position.

Related codes

FAIL POINT D

Your boiler is not receiving a signal from your thermostat or internal timer telling it to turn on.

High DIY-safe £60-£200

What to check first

  1. Check that your room thermostat is turned up higher than the current room temperature.
  2. Replace the batteries in your wireless room thermostat if it has them.
  3. Ensure your programmer or timer is set to 'ON' or 'AUTO' and that the clock is showing the correct time.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Room Thermostat
  • External Programmer
  • Internal Clock/Timer
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Related codes

FAIL POINT E

Your boiler has detected a problem with the internal sensor that tells it when to provide hot water, meaning you currently have no hot water when you turn your taps on.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flowswitch assembly
  • Hot water microswitch
  • Wiring harness

Related codes

FAIL POINT F

Your boiler has likely detected that it is too cold to operate safely or that moisture has affected its internal electronics.

High DIY-safe £100-£350

What to check first

  1. Increase the ambient temperature in the room where the boiler is located to above 5°C.
  2. If the area is damp, use a dehumidifier or improve ventilation to dry out the surroundings.
  3. Reset the boiler and wait for it to reach a normal operating temperature.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Frost Thermistor
Showing 11–20 of 20
FAIL POINT G

Your boiler has shut down because it has reached a temperature that is too high, often due to a lack of water or a circulation issue.

High DIY-safe £120-£350

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge and top up to 1.5 bar if it is low
  2. Ensure all radiator valves are open to allow water flow
  3. Press the reset button once the boiler has cooled down

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulation pump

High DIY-safe £150-300

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler is between 1 and 1.5 bar.
