Vokera Vibe fault AF1
Heating anti-freeze protection active
Gas boilerWhat it means
Protective status (not a fault lockout) shown when heating anti-freeze function activates because flow sensor temperature drops below 5°C. Burner ignites at minimum output, maintained until delivery water temperature reaches 35°C.
Likely causes
- Flow/delivery sensor temperature dropped below 5°C due to low ambient temperature or boiler being off
- Flow water temperature below 5°C while boiler in OFF status with electrical and fuel supply active
Where to start
- Verify flow sensor temperature reading
- Confirm burner ignites at minimum output during this condition

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
