How ApplianceFaults handles safety
Pages focus on what a code usually points to, which checks are visible and user-accessible, and when the sensible next step is a qualified repair professional.
Boiler and gas-related content is intentionally conservative. The site does not ask readers to remove boiler casings, test live wiring, or dismantle sealed components.
