How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate power before touching internal components.
Steps to check:
- Remove the front cover and inspect for signs of water ingress or corrosion on the PCB and connectors.
- Gently press all plug-in connectors on the PCB and sensors to ensure they are fully seated.
- Check that the condensate trap and internal pipework are not leaking onto electrical parts.
- Record the fault codes that appear to help a professional diagnose patterns.
- If lockouts continue, a heating engineer should test sensors and possibly replace the PCB.
