VerifiedHi I am Rick, UK Plumber, and I specialize on Boiler problems, if this is on both hot water and heating then the most likely is the fan has failed, but it can depend on whether you have a three port valve or not, if three port it could be the valve hot sending the signal to the boiler, if you have two 2 port valves then it will be the fan, as it is unlikely both valves have failed, if you have a test meter for mains voltage you can check if the boiler is getting power on the "switched live" terminal, if neons 1 2 & 3 are lit then suspect the air pressure swich, if no neons are lit then it is a power to the boiler problem, Rick
