Engineer visit

Before you start

  • Never take the boiler's cover off. Anything inside is a job for a Gas Safe registered engineer.

What to check, in order

  1. Don't try to fix it yourself

    Worcester's manual says not to try to put F0 right yourself.

  2. Call a Gas Safe registered engineer

    Tell them the code on the display.

When to call a Gas Safe engineer

Worcester's service booklet describes F0 as an internal fault in the control board (PCB), which is replaced if the fault keeps coming back.

A repair visit will usually check the wiring first, then the boiler's control board.

Before you book
  • Note the model and serial number. They're on a label on the data badge, usually under the boiler or behind the front cover.
  • Write down the exact code, and what the appliance was doing when it appeared.
  • Check whether it's still under warranty. If it is, the repair may cost you nothing.
