High
neon flashing (Section H & K) on Potterton Performa System HE

Your boiler is failing to light the burner because it cannot detect or create the initial spark, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent a build-up of unburnt gas.

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

Spark at ignition electrodes - Ignition electrode and lead, electrode gap and position, or On/Off/Reset selector fault.

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.
