- Electrical Fault: Issues with the pump’s electrical supply, such as damaged wiring or a faulty connection, can cause it to malfunction.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
While some basic troubleshooting can be attempted, such as checking for blockages, it is highly recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for any electrical or gas-related issues to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
