Quick Answer

Repeated lockouts mean a safety control is stopping the boiler — commonly ignition failure, flame loss, low pressure, a fan/pressure-switch fault, or overheating. BoilerPart.ca reads the lockout code and fixes the root cause across Greater Vancouver.

A lockout is the boiler protecting itself after a failed or unsafe condition. Resetting clears the symptom; the cause must be diagnosed so it doesn’t return.

  • Low system pressure

What you can safely check first

Beyond these safe checks, do not open the boiler or touch gas, electrical or sealed components — BC law requires a licensed gas fitter. Call us for a proper diagnosis.
