High Lockout
15 on Glow-worm Ci Range

Your boiler is unable to control the flow of gas required for ignition, meaning it cannot light to provide heat 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

Stepper motor fault (gas valve)

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer is unable to communicate with or move the motor that controls the gas supply. The most common reason is that the motor has physically jammed or its electronic windings have burnt out, preventing the valve from opening to let fuel in for ignition.

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.
