Diagnosing and repairing a boiler can be a bit tricky. Sometimes it's best to call a professional, but, if you want to try and figure out what's wrong yourself, here's a quick rundown.

First, check the obvious stuff. Look for leaks, make sure the pressure's right, and see if any error codes are showing on the display. If you find something, that might be where the problem is.

If you can't find anything, you might need to start taking things apart. That's when it gets a bit more complicated and more dangerous. You'll need the right tools and safety gear.

In any case, repairing a boiler is best left to a professional. They have the training and experience to get the job done right and safely."
