High Lockout
F7 on Keston S30

Your boiler has detected that the electricity supply coming into your home is at a lower voltage than it needs to operate safely.

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

Low mains voltage

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal sensors detect that the incoming electrical voltage from your mains supply has dropped below the minimum level required for the components to function. Most commonly, this is caused by a temporary fluctuation in the local power grid, though it can also indicate a failing printed circuit board (PCB) that can no longer process power correctly.

This fault is slightly more common during internal cold snaps or heatwaves when the national grid experiences high demand, potentially leading to 'brownouts' or voltage drops.

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.
