High Lockout
F11 on Intergas Rapid 25

Your boiler has stopped working because one of its internal temperature sensors has lost its electrical connection or developed a fault.

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

Return sensor open circuit

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board loses communication with the sensor that monitors the temperature of the water returning from your radiators. This is usually caused by the internal sensor failing electrically or a connection point within the wiring becoming loose or damaged over time. Because the boiler can no longer safely track how much heat is in the system, 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.
