We have a cold house this morning...

The Flame LED blinks, and so does the Fan LED (which indicates a "flame
or flue fault").

We've called a plumber. In the meantime, what's the most likely fault?

Don't always expect pinpoint accuracy from these fault lights.

In this weather I'd suspect a frozen condensate drain if you have an
external one as a prime suspect.
Fan motor failure can occur anytime but not common in my (limited)
experience.
If it has not had comprehensive servicing for a long time, the bottom of
the heat exchanger/sump could be full of crap.

South Wales - we get grey skies and rain, but little in the way of
weather excitement. I checked the drain, but that's not it.

The warning lights come on even if the boiler is turned on in
hot-water-only mode, before the fan spins up.

I owuldn't be surprised to discover it's the control board - which I
have previously had to replace.

Thanks for the advice. Hoping on a plumber now.

You've been on usenet for a fortnight or two -- you know of ex-regular diy
poster Geoff's business in reconditioned control boards, no?

cetltd.com, does fans and PCBs.

I hope he's in the FAQ!
