High Lockout
rE08 on Warmhaus Enerwa / Priwa

Your boiler is not starting because it cannot light the gas flame needed to heat your water.

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

No ignition – control gas supply line valves could be open

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler attempts to start but cannot detect a flame after several attempts. It is usually caused by a lack of gas reaching the burner, a faulty spark plug that cannot ignite the gas, or a sensor that fails to tell the boiler that a flame is present.

This issue can occur in winter if the external gas regulator freezes or if the gas meter is under-delivered during periods of high demand.

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.
