Heating System Circulation Fault
The boiler is detecting poor water circulation in the heating system. The temperature difference between flow and return is too high.
Step-by-Step Fix Guide
-
Step 1
Check the system pressure on the gauge — it should be between 1.0 and 1.5 bar
-
Step 2
If pressure is low, repressurise via the filling loop
-
Step 3 Engineer only
If pressure is fine, there may be a blockage, airlock or pump fault — call a Gas Safe engineer
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.
