The most common Vokera Synergy problems

The faults most likely to send a Vokera Synergy into lockout — with plain-English causes, what to check first, estimated repair costs and whether you need a Gas Safe engineer.

This model is discontinued. Parts can be harder to source and expensive. If repair costs are mounting, a new A-rated boiler may be the smarter choice.

The 6 most common faults

01
04 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the system has dropped too low.

What to try first

Locate the external filling loop, usually a silver braided hose under the boiler.Open the small valve(s) at either end to allow water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Ensure both valves are fully closed tightly and reset the boiler.

02 High Engineer

Your boiler is failing to circulate water properly because it cannot sense the flow it needs to heat your home.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Circulating pump, Flow sensor, Isolation valves

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • 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
