High Lockout
A06 on Ferroli BlueHelix Pro 32C

Your boiler is failing to stay lit after it tries to start up, meaning it cannot provide you with heating or hot 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 flame after the ignition phase

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler successfully creates a spark and ignites the gas, but then fails to detect that the flame is actually burning. The most common reasons are a dirty or worn-out detection sensor that can't 'see' the fire, or a faulty gas valve that isn't providing a steady enough flow of fuel to keep the flame stable.

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.
