Please Note: If your Worcester Bosch boiler model is not featured in the above examples or if a fault remains and cannot be cleared by pressing the reset button, then you will need to call an accredited, qualified Worcester Bosch service engineer, such as BBS Plumbing and Heating, and provide a description of the fault and, if possible the fault flashing sequence from the flashing indicators.
