Possible Causes

Low or unstable mains voltage, incorrect phase/neutral connection, internal power supply fault on PCB, loose terminal connections

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Electrical work must comply with local regulations. Isolate power before opening the boiler.

  • Check supply: Verify the boiler is connected to a dedicated fused spur with correct polarity and earth.
  • Measure voltage (technician): A professional should measure mains voltage at the boiler terminals; values significantly below nominal can trigger F14.
  • Inspect terminals: Tighten any loose live, neutral, or earth connections inside the boiler's electrical box.
  • Surge protection: If the property experiences frequent surges, consider installing surge protection to protect the PCB.
  • PCB replacement: If mains supply is stable but F14 persists, the internal power supply on the control board may be defective and require replacement.
