High Lockout
A62 on Ferroli Modena HE

Your boiler's computer cannot talk to the gas valve, meaning it cannot light the flame to provide 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 communication between controller and gas valve – controller not connected or valve damaged

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses its electronic link with the gas valve, which acts as the engine's fuel pump. Without this constant digital handshake, the boiler cannot safely release gas to create a flame, so it shuts down as a safety precaution. The most common reason is a loose internal connection or a specific electronic failure within the gas valve itself.

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.
