Baxi Appliance Repair in Coleridge

What does the error E.04.12 mean on a Baxi boiler?

Error E.04.12 on a Baxi boiler indicates a flame monitoring failure where the expected flame was not detected. If you smell gas, do not operate any electrical switches, ventilate the area if safe to do so, leave the property, and call the gas emergency line from outside. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to inspect the ionisation electrode and ignition system.

What does the error E.04.01 mean on a Baxi boiler?

Error E.04.01 on a Baxi boiler indicates the flow temperature sensor is short circuited. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to test and replace the sensor if faulty.

What does the error E103 mean on a Baxi boiler?

Error E103 on a Baxi boiler indicates the Safety Assist battery is exhausted. This is a safety feature battery that needs replacement. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to replace the battery.

What does the error E317 or 162 mean on a Baxi boiler?

Error E317 or 162 on a Baxi boiler indicates the wrong power supply electrical frequency. The boiler expects 50Hz mains power. Check if there are issues with your electrical supply. Contact an electrician if mains power is unstable, or a heating engineer to inspect the boiler.

What does the error E384 or 164 mean on a Baxi boiler?

Error E384 or 164 on a Baxi boiler indicates false flame detection when there should be no flame. If you smell gas, do not operate any electrical switches, ventilate the area if safe to do so, leave the property, and call the gas emergency line from outside. This is a safety concern requiring professional inspection. Do not attempt to operate the boiler. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to check the ionisation electrode.

What are the running costs of a Baxi air source heat pump?

When properly sized and installed, a Baxi air source heat pump typically costs the same as it currently does for gas and electric to heat a home, with the bill being entirely electric. In some circumstances the cost could even be reduced, depending on usage patterns.

How do I reset my Baxi boiler?

The reset method depends on your boiler model. For boilers with a dedicated reset button, press and hold until the red lockout light goes out. For boilers with a thermostat control knob, turn it fully anticlockwise and hold until the light goes out. For boilers with a selector switch, turn to the R (Reset) position and hold for at least 5 seconds.

Are Baxi heat pumps noisy?

Baxi heat pumps typically reach 60 to 65 decibels at maximum operation, which is comparable to people conversing in a room. Maximum noise occurs only during extreme cold weather; units run quieter under normal conditions.

What is the difference between a vented and unvented cylinder?

A vented cylinder draws cold water from a storage tank in the loft and relies on gravity to feed water into the cylinder. An unvented cylinder connects directly to the mains water supply, eliminating the need for a loft tank and delivering hot water at mains pressure.

What is a condensing boiler?

A condensing boiler is a high-efficiency boiler that captures and reuses heat from the flue gases that would otherwise be lost. All modern Baxi boilers are condensing boilers. The technology uses larger heat exchangers to recover almost all the heat, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
