Possible Causes
Blocked primary heat exchanger, Airlock in primary circuit, Faulty NTC sensor giving false high reading, Pump not circulating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the boiler to cool between repeated start attempts to avoid overheating.
- Bleed air: Bleed radiators and any air vents near the boiler to remove trapped air.
- Check pump: Confirm that the pump is running when the boiler fires. If not, the boiler may quickly overheat and shut down.
- Observe temperature rise: If the temperature on the display shoots up rapidly then the boiler stops, there is likely a flow restriction.
- Engineer service: A technician should check NTC sensors, clean or replace the primary heat exchanger, and verify pump performance.
