High Lockout
0A15 on Alpha Pro Tec Plus

Your boiler's temperature sensors are giving conflicting readings, causing the system to stop operating to prevent potential damage.

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

Flow and return sensor anomaly detected. The sensor shows an incorrect temperature value.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board receives conflicting information from the two probes that monitor water temperature. It happens because one of the sensors has likely degraded and is sending an inaccurate electrical signal, making the boiler think the internal heat levels are unsafe. The system shuts down as a precaution because it can no longer accurately track how much heat is being transferred into your radiators.

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.
