High Lockout
H.01 – .08 on Baxi 200 Combi (range)

Your boiler is overheating because water isn't moving through the system quickly enough to be cooled down.

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

Sensor fault, flow temperature increasing too fast in heating mode or insufficient circulation.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the water inside your boiler heats up too quickly because it isn't being pumped away and into your radiators fast enough. The most common reasons are a pump that has seized up or a build-up of sludge and debris in the system that is restricting the flow of water.

This fault is more frequent in autumn when the heating is turned back on after a long summer break, as internal pump parts can seize up from lack of use.

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.
