What you can safely check
- Check the system pressure and make sure accessible radiator valves are open.
- Allow an overheated boiler to cool and reset once only if the user manual permits it.
- If the fault returns, stop resetting and arrange an engineer.
How an engineer may fix it
Diagnose water circulation, air locks, pump operation, valves, bypass, blockages, heat exchanger and temperature sensors; restore correct flow and test the safety controls.
