Error Codes for Baxi Boilers
When it comes to gas boilers, Baxi are market leaders, producing a range of combination, regular and system gas boilers for heating and supplying hot water that are popular in Britain.
However good a boiler may be, are not invincible and boiler breakdown is always an unpleasant threat that looms if your boiler develops a fault.
Baxi have made it easier to diagnose the problem with your gas boiler by providing its appliances with built-in error codes (or fault codes) to alert you to specific issues. Each error code indicates what the fault is, so it’s wise to make sure you know what the codes mean.
Most gas boiler faults can only be rectified by a qualified gas-safe registered engineer, so although you can use these Baxi boiler error codes as a guide, its best to call in a professional to attend to your faulty Baxi boiler.
