Why a code is not a diagnosis
An over-temperature code protects the heat exchanger or venting; it does not reveal whether the cause is low water flow, a failed pump, trapped air, fouling or a sensor fault.
Safe things to observe
- Note the code and whether rooms or hot water are still working.
- If you see steam, melted wiring or smell burning, switch the appliance off at its service switch and call a technician.
Do not
- Do not reset the appliance repeatedly while the cause is unknown.
- Do not remove covers or bypass any high-limit device.
How professional service helps
- A technician checks pump operation, flow, system pressure and the cleanliness of the heat exchanger.
- Combustion and safety devices are verified with an analyser and the manufacturer's procedure after any repair.

Parts and service
Parts commonly involved
These parts appear in the documented text for this alert. A code reports a condition, not a failed part — a technician confirms the cause by testing before anything is replaced.
Boiler sensors (thermistors)
Boiler sensors are small temperature probes, usually thermistors, that tell the control how hot the water and flue gases are so it can fire safely…
What a technician checks →Circulator pump
The circulator is the pump that moves heated water from a boiler out to the radiators, baseboards or in-floor loops and back again.
What a technician checks →Pressure gauge
The pressure gauge is the boiler's dashboard: it shows the water pressure in the system, and often the temperature too.
