Every winter without fail this boiler throws an F1 code a couple time a week. What I find strange is that a quick reset does not help, it tries to fire up but fails again, however, if you leave it switched off for 10 minutes and then turn it back on, it fires up. Anyone know what the issue could be?​

 
Yep but you're gonna need a gas safe engineer. No diy boiler info given in the forum.
 
Already tried that, he said that because it was working (after I had reset it) he couldn't do any fault finding.
 
Try another mate. It's a fairly common fault if it's what I'm thinking
 
It is serviced every year! Our landlord is reluctant to let us choose our own engineer.
 
If it's not working mate next time it locks out leave it locked out until engineer can come. I know it's not ideal
 
Or... I could by an MCB with a digital timer and have it switch off and on every day before I wake up. CBA with no CH/HW whilst the landlord sorts his stuff out. Thanks for your advice though.

Change nothing in the boiler
 
I wouldn't ever touch the boiler. I'm comfortable with electrics though.
 
I'm not comfortable with the thread. Think we'll leave it there. This forum doesn't offer boiler repair advice.

Glow-worm ultracom - pcb or flow sensor?
Good morning. We have a 10 year old Ultracom which now very frequently thinks there's a demand for hot water, even though there isn't, so the boiler kicks into that mode, and sits there heating tap water that isn't going anywhere. Sometimes this happens if a cold tap has been used or the loo...
