Fault 228: - Worcester Bosch Style 8000 Combi Boiler

Hi Everyone ,

Please can someone help me with this fault on the Worcester Bosch Style 8000 Combi Boiler

Fault 228:
To unlock Hold up and down arrow keys are pressed.

I pressed the up and down arrow keys and the hot water was back again

The last time it happened approx 2 months ago.

Any idea what that fault means and what can be done to avoid this again.

Thanks in advance

    Flame signal without flame present – air/gas ratio control valve or ionisation cable may need replacing
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    My boiler is 2.5 years old and under warranty

    Shall I ring Worcester for replacement and further fault-finding as currently the fault is not on the screen but I have taken the photo.

    I think that's the sensible thing to do.
    Explain it's happened twice now in the space of 2 weeks, and ask what the cause is - is it something 'owner-sortable' or does it need a check under the warranty. I'm pretty sure you can phone, email or even 'chat' with W-B - keep a note of what was said.
    Even if it's something user-sortable, you will have 'logged' the issue with them whilst it's still under warranty, just in case it develops into a bigger issue when the warranty runs out :-)
