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.

When the hot water dial and the “program” light appear on the dashboard, it may indicate that this is a call fault code. The RHV module perceives surrounding noise caused by vibrations. When you attempt to manually stop the boiler from running, if it does not stop, and a pulsing glow emerges from behind the boiler’s left side – then this is a sign that motors and heating elements may be offline or there might be a shortage of gas and or electricity supply.

Before doing any troubleshooting you need to switch off the power supply and wait for at least 15 minutes for the cooling down process.
