Blocking: Anti-Cycle Control Active

Low Severity DIY Check Possible

The anti-cycle timer is preventing the boiler from restarting immediately after a heating cycle. This is normal boiler behaviour, not a fault.

Step-by-Step Fix Guide

  1. Step 1

    No action required — the boiler will restart automatically

  2. Step 2

    If the boiler seems to never restart, call a Gas Safe engineer

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.
