High Lockout
sHr on Grant Vortex

Your boiler has detected an electrical fault with its internal temperature sensors and has stopped running as a safety precaution.

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

HP flow sensor short / HP return sensor short

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board receives an impossible electrical signal from the sensors that monitor the water temperature. The most common reason is that the internal wiring or the sensors themselves have developed a short circuit, often due to natural wear or moisture ingress. Because the boiler can no longer safely monitor how hot the water is getting, it shuts down immediately to prevent overheating.

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.
