Overheat Detection High

Your boiler has automatically turned itself off because it detected that the water inside has become dangerously hot.

Call an engineer soon

Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.

Technical description: If a temperature over 100°C is detected in the primary circuit by the sensor 23, the safety solenoids close and the fan stops. It is possible to reset the boiler when the primary circuit temperature falls below 76°C.
Typical repair cost £150-300 (including labour)
