The boiler error code 71 means a malfunction in the electronic control module. The error code comes with a number of possible causes and solutions.
As an example, it can happen due to system overload, resistance in the electrical circuits, or no power supply. Some of the factors that can cause this problem are incorrect wiring, high-voltage circuits, low-voltage sensors, and defective thermostats.
It usually takes not more than a few days before the error clears on its own and the boiler starts working again on its own. The issue may start happening again otherwise, for example, when householder starts using too many hot showers over one day without enough restoring breaks in between to dissipate their heat efficiently through radiators.
