- Check boiler pressure – ensure it is between 1–1.5 bar.
- Reset the boiler – press the reset button once.
- Check radiator valves – make sure they are open for proper circulation.
- Inspect external flue – look for obvious blockages outside your home.
- Check gas supply – ensure other gas appliances are working.
Do Not Attempt
Never attempt the following as they are dangerous and illegal in the UK:
- Opening the boiler casing
- Electrical repairs or internal wiring work
- Gas repairs, adjustments, or replacements

When to Call a Professional
You should contact a Gas Safe registered engineer if:
- Fault codes indicate ignition, flame, fan, or overheat issues (e.g., EA, 227, C6, E9)
- The boiler repeatedly locks out or displays persistent faults
- You smell gas or suspect combustion issues
- You are unsure about any fault code or repair
