High Lockout
9F on Ideal Maximiser SE

Your boiler's internal computer is having trouble measuring its own temperature, which prevents it from operating safely.

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

Failure regarding to control panel reference temperature.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses the ability to calibrate itself against its own internal reference temperature. It is usually caused by a physical failure of the electronic components on the circuit board or a communication error within the control panel assembly. Because the boiler can no longer verify it is reading temperatures accurately, it shuts down as a safety precaution.

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.
