The most common Heatline Capriz 24 problems

The faults most likely to send a Heatline Capriz 24 into lockout — with plain-English causes, what to check first, estimated repair costs and whether you need a Gas Safe engineer.

This model is discontinued. Parts can be harder to source and expensive. If repair costs are mounting, a new A-rated boiler may be the smarter choice.

The 6 most common faults

01
F0 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.

What to try first

Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver braided hose with one or two manual taps underneath the boilerOpen the tap(s) slowly to allow water into the system until the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler reads between 1.0 and 1.5 barClose the tap(s) firmly and ensure there is no water dripping from the connection

02
80 Flashing High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the amount of water inside your heating system has dropped below the required level.

What to try first

Locate the external filling loop, which is a silver braided flexible hose connected between two pipes under your boiler.Open the small valves at both ends of this hose to allow mains water to enter the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close both valves tightly to prevent over-pressurisation.

03
Bar LED Flashing High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.

What to try first

Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a small metal braided hose underneath the boiler.Slowly open the valve(s) on the filling loop to allow water to enter the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1 and 1.5 bar.Close the valve(s) tightly and restart your boiler.

04
F.22 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low to operate safely.

What to try first

Locate the filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver hose under the boiler connecting two pipes.Open the valve(s) on the filling loop slowly to let water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close the valve(s) tightly and restart your boiler.

05
0.8bar High DIY-safe

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure in your heating system has fallen too low for it to operate safely, so it has paused its functions to protect itself.

What to try first

Locate the filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver hose under the boiler connecting two pipes.Open the valves at both ends of the filling loop to allow water to enter the system while watching the pressure gauge.Close both valves firmly once the needle reaches the green zone between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.

06
E09 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the system is currently too low.

What to try first

Locate the filling loop (a silver flexible hose) connected to the pipes underneath your boiler.Open the small valve or tap on the loop to allow water into the system while watching the pressure gauge.Close the valve tightly once the needle on the gauge reaches the green zone, typically between 1 and 1.5 bar.

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Heatline shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
