How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a boiler that continually locks out; this can be unsafe.

  • Single reset: Perform one reset as per the manual and observe the sequence. Note any other codes that appear before 40.
  • Record symptoms: Note noises, flashing lights, and behavior to inform an engineer.
  • Engineer diagnosis:
    • Access boiler diagnostic history (if available) to see underlying fault codes.
    • Systematically test ignition, sensors, pump, and flue components.

This code usually requires professional diagnostic tools and should not be ignored.
