AWB fault code F68
Fault code F68 on an AWB boiler (including ThermoMaster) means: Fluctuations in the ionisation signal Fault in the gas supply such as: main gas valve is closed. air in gas pipe. gas meter or house pressure regulator faulty. Reset the appliance once. If the code comes back, a part is usually faulty. You can check the water pressure and settings yourself; leave work on gas-carrying parts to a certified gas engineer.
After a safety alert (gas, flue gas, combustion), reset no more than once and call in a certified gas engineer. If you smell gas, call your national gas emergency number or 112 immediately.
