High Lockout
328 on Worcester Bosch CDi Classic

Your boiler has detected an issue with the quality of the electricity supply coming into your home, meaning it cannot operate safely.

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

Internal error with the mains voltage – frequency may be inconsistent

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control system detects that the electrical supply from your home is unstable or outside of safe operating limits. It is typically caused by a failure in the boiler's main control board sensing the wrong electrical frequency, or external issues like a power surge or a faulty household circuit. Because the boiler requires a precise voltage to run its internal safety components, it will stop working to prevent damage.

This fault can sometimes be more common during stormy weather or high winds, when external power lines are prone to fluctuating or temporary 'dirty' electricity supplies.

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.
