High Lockout
AL71 on Vokera Syntesi 29

Your boiler has detected an issue with the sensor that monitors the temperature of the water leaving the unit, causing it to shut down as a safety precaution.

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

Primary (flow) sensor fault

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board loses communication with the sensor that monitors the heat of the water leaving the unit. The most common reason is that the sensor has physically failed or developed a loose connection, meaning the boiler can no longer safely verify the water temperature. To prevent overheating, the system automatically shuts down until the faulty component is replaced.

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.
