If your boiler is not working and you have tried resetting it, here are some other things you can try:

• Check the water pressure in your boiler. The water pressure should be between 1 and 1.5 bar.
• Check the gas supply to your boiler. Make sure that the gas supply is turned on.

Troubleshooting Boiler Issues after Resetting

Some boilers may take several minutes to reset or may require two attempts. If your boiler doesn’t turn on after resetting, or the error code persists, contact a Gas Safe Engineer.

Resetting a Boiler after Gas Supply Runs Out

If you have a pay-as-you-go meter and your boiler shuts down due to a lack of gas, follow the standard boiler reset steps once you have topped up your meter. In most cases, you can add emergency gas to your meter if necessary.
