High Lockout
F8 on Ideal Logic Combi ESP1

Your boiler's internal computer brain either hasn't been set up correctly or has developed a hardware failure, preventing the unit from starting.

Call an engineer soon

Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24 to 48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.

Technical description

PCB UNCONFIGURED OR FAULTY

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board has lost its unique identity settings or has suffered an electrical memory failure. It essentially means the computer inside the unit no longer knows how to operate the specific components of your boiler and has shut down for safety. Most often, this is caused by a power surge or an internal hardware defect that prevents the board from reading its own configuration data.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
