What you can safely check
- Check for a wider power cut or a tripped consumer-unit circuit without removing the boiler case.
- Use a qualified electrician or Gas Safe engineer for further diagnosis.
How an engineer may fix it
Verify supply voltage, polarity, earthing, fuses, harnesses and appliance electronics; correct the electrical supply or replace the failed component.
