BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler has detected a lockout fault and has shut down to protect itself, meaning your heating and hot water will not work until it is reset.
Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.
Technical description: Led alarm (red)
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler fails to detect a flame after several ignition attempts, causing the system to shut down for safety. The most common reasons are a lack of gas supply to the unit, a blocked burner, or a faulty sensor that cannot confirm the flame is lit. It can also be caused by worn-out electrical components that are responsible for creating the initial spark.
