High Lockout
Fault 02 / 42 on Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDi Compact

Your boiler's main control chip is not making a proper connection, meaning the 'brain' of the appliance cannot communicate correctly.

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

Internal fault: Code switch on IPM in intermediate position.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's memory chip, known as a code plug, is not physically seated correctly or has developed a hardware failure. The most common reason is that the chip has vibrated loose or the main circuit board can no longer read the specific programming required to run your boiler safely.

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.
