Why a code is not a diagnosis
A venting or air-supply code points at the combustion-air path: a blocked terminal, a restricted flue, a failed fan, or a condensate restriction. It does not say which, and running an appliance with a blocked flue is unsafe.
Safe things to observe
- If a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds anywhere in the building, leave immediately and call 911 from outside.
- From a safe distance, check that the vent terminal and combustion-air inlet are not blocked.
- Do not run the appliance while a blockage is suspected.
Do not
- Do not put anything into the vent or air-intake openings.
- Do not remove or modify vent pipe.
How professional service helps
- A technician inspects the full vent and combustion-air path, clears blockages and checks the fan.
- Combustion and safety devices are verified with an analyser and the manufacturer's procedure after any repair.

The water pressure sensor is the electronic gauge that tells a modern boiler's control how much pressure the heating loop is under.
What a technician checks →Control board / PCB
The control board — also called the PCB, or printed circuit board — is the boiler's main computer.

Can I clear this code myself?
Clearing a code without fixing its cause usually just brings it back. Note the code, check the safe items on this page, then call a licensed technician. If your appliance manual describes a user reset for this exact code and it stays away, no call may be needed.
