    The boost function, is it a fan heater? If so check the fuse on the switch on the wall. An electrician should be able to fix it, should not take too long but you never know until u actually see the problem...

    Boost in SH is simple solution - if you have torch you can look inside through top grille - there is metal flap closing extra duct for hot air (red arrow on the very top of:

    If you turn your BOOST knob it is opening and closing that duct - but sometimes it's broken and the flap is permanently closed - not serious damage but you need qualify electrician to dismount your SH to repair it (electric shock risk).
