All.
We have a relatively new Intergas boiler, installed in 2018.
Recently, the boiler has been registering Fault Code 5 and switching itself off. We had a (British Gas) engineer round to investigate the other day but, thanks to more shoddy/thoughtless builder work, we discovered that the front of the boiler couldn’t/can’t be removed (to service it!). (Addressing this is in hand separately through a local carpenter). The Gas Engineer couldn’t identify the reason for the Fault but did confirm that a simple (button press) reset seemed to “sort things“.
In the interim, given the Fault seems to reappear every few days, is it safe to continue to do this reset? I’ve done this a couple of times and it seems to resolve things immediately (mercifully so in this weather) but I’m wary it might be masking something more sinister and I shouldn’t keep doing this?
All advice greatly received.
Thanks, Steve.
