Water Pressure Sensor Fault

Medium Severity Engineer Required

The electronic water pressure sensor is giving an incorrect reading. The boiler cannot verify the system has adequate water pressure.

Step-by-Step Fix Guide

  1. Step 1

    Check the analogue pressure gauge if available — the digital and analogue readings should agree

  2. Step 2

    If the pressure gauge shows normal pressure (1-1.5 bar) but the boiler still shows this fault, the sensor itself is faulty

  3. Step 3 Engineer only

    A Gas Safe engineer will need to replace the pressure sensor

Gas Safe Reminder

Work on gas appliances must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The steps above cover safe checks a homeowner can perform - any internal component replacement requires a qualified professional. If in doubt, always call an engineer.
