What causes the Vokera Reset Light (Overheat) fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal sensors detect that the water temperature has exceeded a safe limit or the flame failed to light after several attempts. Often, this is caused by a lack of water flow through the heat exchanger, perhaps due to a failing pump or an airlock, triggering the safety shut-off to prevent internal damage. It can also be caused by a build-up of debris or a fault with the ignition system preventing a stable flame.

This issue is more frequent in winter when the heating system is under maximum load, which can highlight existing circulation problems or pump fatigue.
