High Lockout
F52 on Ferroli Modena HE

Your boiler has detected a problem with the internal sensor that monitors water temperature or flow, meaning it cannot safely regulate how much it heats the 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

Flow sensor – fault sensor damaged

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal sensor, which monitors the temperature of the water leaving the unit, starts providing inaccurate readings or stops communicating entirely. The most common reason is that the sensor has suffered electrical failure or has become covered in debris, preventing it from safely measuring how hot the water is.

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.
