High Lockout
d1 & d2 on Vokera Syntesi 25

Your boiler has detected a blockage or a backup of water in the condensation drainage pipe, usually caused by a frozen pipe or a clogged trap.

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

Problem with condense trap/pipe/sensor. Call engineer.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the water produced during the combustion process cannot drain away from the boiler, causing it to back up into the internal trap. The most common reasons are a blockage in the external pipework, such as debris or ice, or a failure in the electronic sensor that monitors the water level.

This fault is particularly common during freezing winter temperatures, as the external portion of the condensate drainage pipe is prone to freezing and becoming blocked with ice.

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.
