Gas boiler

What it means

Safety shutdown due to too rapid a temperature rise in the system

Likely causes

  1. Pump blocked
  2. Insufficient pump output
  3. Air in product
  4. System pressure too low
  5. Non-return valve blocked/incorrectly installed
  6. Noise persisting in boiler due to trapped air
