When Baxi boiler troubleshooting, you may find that your boiler needs to be reset. Read on to find out how to reset your boiler, whether it has a dedicated rest button, an ON/OFF/SELECTOR switch or a thermostat control knob.
If you are troubleshooting a Baxi boiler with a dedicated reset button:
- In certain circumstances, your boiler may lock out. This is identified by the Red Lockout light constantly illuminated or flashing.
- To reset the boiler, simply press the reset button until the red light goes away.
- If your timer is calling for heat, the burner light will come on to indicate the boiler has fired up and is heating your system.
- If lockout occurs frequently a fault is indicated and you should contact your installer or service engineer.
If you are troubleshooting a Baxi boiler that uses a boiler thermostat control knob to reset:
- In certain circumstances, your boiler may lock out. This is identified by the Red Lockout light on or flashing.
- To reset the boiler, turn the temperature control knob fully anticlockwise.
- Hold until the red lockout light goes out, then turn the control knob back to the desired setting.
- If your timer is calling for heat, the burner light will come on to indicate the boiler has fired up and is heating your system.
- If lockout occurs frequently a fault is indicated and you should contact your installer or service engineer.
If you are troubleshooting a Baxi boiler that uses an ON/OFF/SELECTOR switch to reset:
- Open the pull down panel to reveal the control.
- If a fault occurs on your boiler, an error message or light (depending on your boiler model) may be shown on the fascia display. In the example shown, E133 is indicating a problem with either the gas supply, ignition/flame or a blocked condensate.
- If your boiler uses a series of neon indicator lights (instead of an LED display) a lockout is shown through the flame failure light. On the 10-Neon display, the flame failure is the top left light.
- The process of resetting your boiler is the same regardless of the fascia display.
- To reset the boiler, turn the selector switch to the R (Reset) position. Hold for at least 5 seconds and release.
- The fault code will be replaced with the boiler's current temperature.
- At this point on a neon indicator boiler model, the flame failure light will stop flashing and will be replaced with the burner light.
- After a few seconds, the burner (orange) light will illuminate, showing that the burner has fired. The temperature should now begin to rise.
- If lockout occurs frequently a fault is indicated and you should contact your installer or service engineer.
Other fault codes when troubleshooting a Baxi boiler reset can include:
- E110, E130 - which are displayed when overheat of the primary water or flue system has occurred.
- E119 - which is displayed when the primary water pressure is less than 0.5 bar.
If your boiler displays any other fault codes when Baxi boiler troubleshooting, or in the event of a reset not being successful, you should make a note of the error code and contact your installer or service engineer for assistance.
