1065 High Lockout

Your boiler has detected an issue with the sensor that monitors internal water pressure, meaning it cannot confirm if there is enough water to operate safely.

Call an engineer soon

Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24–48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.

Technical description: System pressure sensor

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer loses communication with the sensor that tracks water pressure. It is usually caused by a physical failure of the sensor's internal diaphragm or a loose electrical connection in the wiring harness. Because the boiler cannot verify if there is enough water to operate safely without damaging the heat exchanger, it will shut down as a precaution.

Typical repair cost £140-£220 (including labour)

Engineer required

This fault requires a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
