The 6 most common faults

01
04 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 or braided hose located under the boiler.Open the small valve or tap on the loop to let water in until the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close the valve or tap tightly to stop the flow of water.

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Vokera 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
