What 446 means
Deviation, heat generator flow temperature sensor/high limit safety cut-out
Safe check
Note the code. Do not open or adjust the boiler, or repeatedly reset it. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer.
When to contact an engineer
Arrange diagnosis by a Gas Safe registered engineer if the code remains or returns.
Safety notice
A boiler fault code alone is not a gas or carbon-monoxide emergency. If you smell gas, a CO alarm sounds, anyone feels unwell, or there is an unsafe flame, leave and call 0800 111 999 from outside.
