@@tonyprice1649 The manual said the error light was for an airflow/fan problem - though I was worried it might be something else. Someone else used WD40 on the fan bearings on another RUclips video. I tried this as well and it worked (though not before I wasted £70 on bringing in a gas engineer for safety and just to be sure. He did nothing but tell me it was probably an airflow problem - which I knew already.
@@mkirksmith same with me. I took out the fan - rotation was very stiff. Then lubricated with a good temperature lubricant. Worked a treat - knowing full well it will only last for a good while. You can actually buy & replace the bearings. You would have to youtube the procedure. The guy on it actually sells the bearings. Good boilers!
@@tonyprice1649 Thanks for the tip. I'll do that if/when the error starts again. I put 3in1 oil on after the WD40 thinking that the WD40 wouldn't last long, but the error came back and the water went cold again. So I flushed the 3in1 out with WD40 and it worked again. I don't think a new fan is too expensive.
I have that boiler, it's like programming a mission to Mars trying to set the timer.
How did u do it?
🤣🤣
Video should be called "show but not tell"
did you found out what was causing it ? got the same problem
Elaan baxti what was the cause please as mibe is now doing the same
Any ideas?
I've got the same problem - did you sort it out? What was the problem? Sticking diverter valve? Inlet fan not working?
Look at manual for - fast flashing red light? Air flow? Fan?...etc?

Michael kirk-smith I was recommended sowing machine oil
Anyone find out the fault? I've been wondering if it's low gas pressure. Happened in the snow recently...
Air flow....check fan?
another silent movie g8 if you wanna hear yourself eating popcorn !!!
Is this video just to let you know you’re not alone if you have this fault lol... totally useless video
What was the fault
