Common Causes
- Faulty Thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat may not accurately read the temperature, causing the boiler to overheat.
- Blocked Heat Exchanger: A blockage in the heat exchanger can restrict water flow, leading to increased temperatures and triggering the fault code.

It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for this issue, as it involves potential gas and electrical components that require professional handling. Attempting to fix it yourself could pose safety risks.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for addressing the F52 fault could be around £150 to £250, depending on whether the thermostat needs replacement or if the heat exchanger requires cleaning or servicing.
