High Lockout
F0 on Worcester Bosch CDi Classic

Your boiler has experienced an internal electrical communication error, which means the main control box cannot talk to the internal components correctly.

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 – electrical connector contacts or programmer interface module – check ignition leads are not loose.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses the ability to send or receive data from its internal operating modules. It is typically caused by a loose electrical connection, worn out ignition leads, or a mechanical failure within the 'brain' of the unit that prevents it from coordinating the heating process safely.

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.
