Blue light Fast flash 5 pulses, Reset button Flashing

Blue light Fast flash with 5 pulses, Reset button Flashing — Ignition lockout

Worcester Bosch · Greenstar Boilers

What does Blue light Fast flash 5 pulses, Reset button Flashing mean?

The blue indicator light flashes rapidly with five pulses, and the reset button is also flashing, indicating the boiler has entered an ignition lockout state. This means it tried to ignite multiple times and failed for safety reasons.

Common Causes

  • Insufficient gas supply or incorrect gas pressure
  • Blocked flue or combustion issue (CO2 level)
  • Faulty ignition electrodes or connections
  • Gas valve malfunction, low water pressure, or air trapped in the system
  • Blocked heat exchanger, pump issue, water leaks, or faulty safety thermostats
