High Lockout
15 on Glow-worm Ci Plus

Your boiler is unable to control the flow of gas correctly to create a flame, meaning your heating and hot water will not work.

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

Stepper motor fault (gas valve)

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer is unable to communicate with the motor that controls the gas supply. The most common reason is that the motor on the gas valve has failed electrically or the internal mechanism has become stuck, preventing fuel from entering the burner. In some cases, it can also be triggered by a loose wiring connection or a malfunctioning control board that is sending incorrect signals.

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.
