All modern gas boilers are equipped with electronics. For normal operation of the equipment, a control board is required. If malfunctions occur, the automation gives a signal and an error code is indicated on the screen of the gas boiler. The operating instructions for the gas boiler describe the causes of errors. Let's look at the most popular error e01 in Baxi gas boilers in this article. In our store you can buy gas equipment.
Resetting error e01 in a Baxi gas boiler
Before you start troubleshooting the problem yourself, you should study the instructions for use and recommendations from the manufacturer. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to contact a qualified specialist.
This error is serious and does not allow the equipment to continue operating without its elimination. You need to reset the error by pressing and holding the R button for a few seconds. After this, the gas boiler should be started as usual.
Boiler Baxi mainfour 240 f error e01
This model of gas boiler includes a fourth-generation bithermal heat exchanger. The difference between this unit and the 24 brand boiler is the white display panel.
The Baxi mainfour 240 f gas boiler is single-circuit, which is equipped with a fan for forced removal of combustion products. The equipment of these elements is indicated by the letter F.
The operating principle and ignition scheme of this model are the same as those of other Baxi gas boilers. If error e01 occurs, you should follow all the recommendations that we will discuss in this article.
ERROR E10 ON THE BAXI BAXI BOILER: REASONS FOR THE PRESSURE LOSS IN THE HEATING SYSTEM.
Perhaps this is one of the most common mistakes on a Baksi gas boiler.
The essence of error E10 is a drop in coolant pressure in the heating system below the permissible level and the activation of a safety pressure switch-water pressure switch.
The reasons for the error can be both inside the boiler itself and outside it. Let's consider all possible options.
REASONS FOR ERROR E10 IN THE BAXI GAS BOILER ITSELF:
-There is a leak directly in the boiler. That is, something is running, leaking, there is any leakage of a spare part or connection.
For example, the main/bithermic heat exchanger started running. Or a three-way valve cartridge.
Alternatively, the automatic air vent of the pump may be leaking.
Or hydraulic safety valve, copper tube, expansion tank. In general, anything, as long as it’s the hydraulics of the heating system.
Fortunately, a leak in a boiler can always be detected visually by carefully inspecting all components and parts. This is what the service technician does first when he arrives at the site to find out the cause of the E10 error on the boiler.
If a leak is detected, the specialist will fix it by replacing the appropriate spare part.
If no traces of liquid are visually detected, then there is no leak in the boiler.
-The problem is related to the boiler expansion tank. Incorrectly set air pressure in the tank, incorrect pumping, tank malfunction - damaged membrane or leaking spool. Or the volume of the tank does not match the volume of the heating system, and it is necessary to install an additional tank of a larger capacity.
The technician uses a pump with a pressure gauge to check the pressure in the tank and, if necessary, pumps it up.
The problem can be either an empty tank or an over-pumped one. There are strict relationships between the air pressure in the tank and the coolant pressure in the heating system, as well as rules for maintaining the tank. Our masters comply with them.
-It happens occasionally that the safety pressure switch of the heating system (water pressure switch) is faulty. This is very easy to check.
If error E10 appears when the coolant pressure on the pressure gauge is less than 1 atm, this is normal. And if the pressure gauge needle shows a pressure greater than 1, you add up to 1.5, and still error E10 is on, which means the problem is in the pressure switch or its contacts. In this case, it is necessary to check and replace the safety pressure switch of the heating system.
THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR IS NOT IN THE BOILER.
And in the heating system itself.
-Leak, leakage, leakage of any part of the system.
Attention. Leaks cannot always be detected visually. The only reliable way to find out for sure is to pressure test the heating system using special equipment. The option “I walked everywhere, checked everything, touched and examined, there is no leak anywhere” is unreliable. For a drop in pressure and the appearance of error E10, the smallest leak between the sections of the radiator, a slightly leaking nut or stopcock is enough. When the pressure drops below the permissible values, the boiler still gives the same error E10.
It should be remembered that frequent replenishment of the system leads to the formation of scale and deposits inside the main/bithermic heat exchanger and other components of the gas boiler!
Unfortunately, there are times when a leak in a system cannot be repaired. For example, it is located in a heated floor system or in an inaccessible area. If the cause is discovered, it should be eliminated immediately, for example, tighten the nut, replace the connection or valve. It may be worth seeking help from a qualified plumber/heating installer. Our specialists do not repair heating systems; our task is to repair boilers themselves.
- Airiness of the heating system.
The appearance of error E10 on a new system, as well as after any intervention in the operation of the system or boiler, is normal. For example, you changed a radiator, or a technician carried out some hydraulic work on the boiler. The water was drained, then the system was filled, and air entered the system along with the water. Subsequently, it is removed through the automatic air vent of the boiler and air vents in the system, if installed. And the pressure may drop.
If you constantly have to bleed the air from the radiators, then the problem is in poor quality coolant. Hydrogen, which is formed in aluminum radiators as a result of chemical reactions of the coolant with aluminum, is often mistaken for air. In this case, the coolant needs to be replaced.
IMPORTANT. Our service specialists only fix problems in the boiler itself and do not search for leaks and eliminate them in the heating system. In short, we check the boiler, put it in order and leave, and you deal with the heating system yourself.

Boiler Baxi Eco Four 24 f error e01
The Baxi Eco Four 24 f heating boiler is a double-circuit turbocharged boiler with a closed combustion chamber. One can highlight the difference from the previous model - a second plate heat exchanger for heating water.
The main cause of the boiler ignition error may be a malfunction of the electronic board. For an accurate diagnosis, you must contact a qualified specialist.
In this model, the ignition element is located on the board, and it is difficult to independently identify the cause of the error. The eco four and main four electronic boards can be replaced and customized for a specific model using parameter settings in configuration mode.
You can buy spare parts for Baxi gas boilers from us.
Why does error e01 occur in a Baxi gas boiler?
Most often, this error indicates a failure to ignite the burner of the heating equipment. This signal comes from the flame control sensor. This element is an electrode that detects the presence of a flame and stops the operation of the gas unit if the combustion of the main burner is incomplete or gas supply interruptions occur.
Let's look at the main reasons for the error:
- No signal or poor signal contact with the flame control sensor.
- There is no gas supply to the system or insufficient pressure.
- The flame control sensor has failed. May occur due to breakdown or contamination.
- On phase-dependent models, the power supply may not be connected correctly.
- Insufficient air for normal combustion. For example, the intake pipe is clogged or there is no draft.
- Control board faulty.
If 3 unsuccessful starts occur, the boiler is blocked. In order to restore operation, you must hold the R button for several seconds.
You can find some possible causes of the error yourself. For example, the presence of contamination and air access, contact with the sensor. If after eliminating the error the error appears again, it is recommended to contact a specialist.
Error classification
Thanks to “smart” automation, the owner of a gas boiler can quickly recognize and fix the problem. There is a large list of error codes, but they can all be divided into two types:
- Complete shutdown of the system.
- The device enters the standby state.
When blocked, a restart of the equipment is most often required. This mode is activated in case of serious breakdowns to avoid a safety hazard. Such problems include overheating of the device, lack of traction or fuel supply. It is extremely rare that such a problem can be solved on its own. Therefore, you should not count on the device working on its own.
Code E01
The owner should definitely know how to fix error E01 on a Baxi boiler, since this is one of the most common problems. This code appears on the device display when the flame sensor is triggered.
The problem may occur for the following reasons:
- No gas supply.
- In the phase-dependent variety, there is no correspondence between zero and phase.
- No contact with flame sensor.
- Damage or contamination of the sensor.
- There is a malfunction in the ignition.
- The electronic board or gas valve has failed.
- Lack of air required for high-quality combustion.
- Lack of gas pressure.
There are many reasons for error E01 to occur, for example, a malfunction of the ignition.
It is not always possible to solve this problem yourself. Actions in case of Baxi E01 error:
- Check the quality of the connection to the sensor and the gas supply level. Sometimes a lack of gas can occur due to trivial situations, for example, if the gas tap is turned off.
- If everything is in order with this, but error 01 is still displayed on the Baksi boiler, you need to press the R key and hold it for 2-3 seconds. If the automation works accidentally, the boiler will begin to function.
If it is impossible to eliminate the E01 error on the Baxi gas boiler, you must schedule a visit from a technician. Problems may be related to electronics. In this situation, independent intervention is unacceptable.
Designation E10
Another common problem is error E10. It occurs when there is a problem with the sensors that are responsible for water circulation and pump operation. The system notifies of a malfunction in the following cases:
- Low gas pressure.
- Poor contact between the pressure switch and the board or its complete absence.
- The pressure switch does not work.
- The pumping equipment sensor has failed.
- Pump failure.
- The filter system in the heating circuit is clogged.
- The heat exchanger is clogged.
It is also better not to try to solve the problem with the E10 code on your own. You can change the pump yourself if it is not working, and also clean the filter system. More serious problems should be dealt with by a specialist.
Special error codes allow the equipment owner to identify even the most minor malfunctions in the system. Diagnosis should be carried out as quickly as possible and in case of serious problems, immediately contact a specialist. Then the gas boiler will serve for a long time and properly.
Incorrect gas boiler power connection error e01
In any Baxi gas boiler, it is necessary to observe the polarity of the phase and zero connections. If the equipment was connected incorrectly, error e01 will appear. To check, you should turn the connection plug over or check the corresponding connectors on the board. The first option is the simplest.
Do not forget about grounding the gas boiler. In accordance with the PUE standards, all metal elements must be grounded. If the work is performed incorrectly, problems with electronics may occur.
List of common problems and their causes
The automation of Baksi gas units is volatile. The control unit displays the results of self-diagnosis on the display. Each error has a specific code, each code relates to a specific worker node.
Errors can be more or less serious. Serious ones lead to complete blocking of the equipment; a restart will be required to continue operation after eliminating the cause.
These are problems that pose a real danger to the system and people: there is no traction, no gas, equipment is overheated, etc. Sometimes the error disappears on its own and work resumes automatically. Below are the main malfunctions of the Baxi boiler.
Baxi gas boiler, error E01: refers to the readings of the flame sensor. The following indicator starts flashing on the display:
- lack of gas;
- phase and neutral are connected incorrectly;
- contact between the sensor and the control board is broken;
- other violations of the sensor connection, its blockage or malfunction;
- problems with ignition - the unit itself, individual elements, contacts;
- gas valve failure;
- electronic board failure;
- gas valve is closed;
- insufficient air flow;
- insufficient gas pressure;
- The coaxial chimney is poorly connected (what is a coaxial chimney for a gas boiler).
E02 refers to the thermostat (what is a thermostat for a heating boiler). An error may appear if the water in the circuit is overheated, as well as if the signal from the sensor is incorrect. An incorrect signal may be due to a faulty sensor or broken contact. Another reason for overheating is a violation of circulation through the heat exchanger.
This happens if a lot of scale has accumulated in the container, the heating circuit filters are clogged, the pump has failed, or the system is airy. The thermostat itself may also be faulty, or there may be no contact between it and the control board.
E3 differs slightly between boilers with open and closed fireboxes. In an open model, there may be problems with the draft (improperly installed, narrowed chimney (exhaust device for a gas boiler in a private house) or the pipe itself, incorrect geometry), with the thermostat sensor (breakage, lack of contact).
Malfunction of the flame control sensor in the Baxi gas boiler
Some manufacturers recommend changing the igniter. But this is not necessary in all cases. The igniter may need to be replaced depending on gas quality, air pollution and conditions of use.
It is necessary to inspect and clean the electrode if necessary. This can be done with an alcohol solution, and then check the gap relative to the burner body and the correct position in accordance with the instructions. Each Baxi gas boiler model may have different requirements.
The flame control function is performed by the ignition electrode. The main function of the gas boiler safety system is flame control. It is necessary to automatically shut off the gas if the flame on the burner goes out. The operating instructions indicate the required gap that needs to be set.
The flame monitoring function consists of recording a small current that flows through the electrode during combustion. Since the flame structure contains an air gap, if the gap is small, the flame will not be registered, and, consequently, an accident will occur when the gas boiler operates at a certain power.
The electrode cannot be bent, as in most cases it breaks off.
What is the reason for error E01 for Baxi boilers?
The electronics of the flame control sensor are designed to block the boiler in the following situations:
- lack of gas supply or insufficient pressure in the main gas pipeline system;
- failure of the ionization sensor;
- violation of the integrity of electrical connections or problems with contacts;
- failure of the control board;
- incorrect connection of the input power supply (boilers are phase dependent);
- low pressure in the heat exchange system;
- problems with the pump.
How to fix Error E01
How to fix possible errors in Baksi e 01 can be found in the operating instructions, which describe possible problems and ways to fix some of the problems yourself. If you carefully read the operating instructions for a gas boiler, you will understand that simply turning the power plug 180o (change the phase phase) allows you to start the ignition system. But this is one thing that anyone can do. But there are actions that only a Gas Master with the necessary experience needs to do.
For example, cleaning the contacts can restore the functioning of the flame sensor. The problem of the pump not starting can be eliminated by “banal” cranking. A similar situation with the pump occurs when the boiler is first started, or if there is debris in an already operating system; it can also be accompanied by error e01 for a Baxi gas boiler. Low pressure in the heat exchanger may be due to a low level of liquid used as a coolant and air entering the system.
If, after using the above options and turning it on again, the boiler does not reboot and does not turn on in normal mode, and error E01 appears on the display, then you cannot do without calling a technician. Correction of malfunctions associated with the lack of gas supply, low pressure, and the gas valve responsible for regulating the gas supply should be carried out by specialists who are familiar with the specifics of operating gas equipment. Checking electronics, control systems for safe operation, and setting up control systems should be carried out by a specialist who has extensive practical experience in performing similar work with BAXI gas boilers of various modifications. In the case of boilers with combined ignition, a possible cause may be failure of the electrical circuit of the control board. Replacement of failed elements should be carried out with similar samples, even though some samples of models of different designs are considered interchangeable.
You can find any number of tips on how to fix problems that have arisen. But, according to reviews from specialists who provide maintenance and repair services for heating equipment, attempts to independently correct problems that have arisen lead to complete failure of individual components and equipment as a whole.
Control board fault error e01 Baxi
If all checks have been made and the cause has not been identified, then it is necessary to diagnose and then repair the gas boiler board. In Baxi equipment, the board contains modules and an ignition unit, which are responsible for modulating the flame. If these elements fail, error e01 will appear. For diagnostics, it is recommended to consult a specialist.
If the cause of error e01 is a malfunction of the electronic board, then you need to contact a service center, where experienced specialists will perform all the work in accordance with safety standards and regulations.
In our online store you can buy a Baksi gas boiler.
Recommendations for eliminating error E01
If, during operation of the equipment, error E10 appeared on the display on the Baxi boiler, you could find out how to eliminate it by reading the information above. However, this code is far from the only one that may indicate a hardware malfunction. For example, if the device displays error code E01, then the consumer needs to check whether the sensor is connected correctly. Experts recommend checking the fuel supply; sometimes it happens that the gas supply is stopped, and the reason is simply a closed gas valve.
If you are sure that all elements are normal, it is recommended to press the “R” button and hold it for 3 seconds. If the operation occurs accidentally, the operation of the device should return to normal. Sometimes the operation occurs repeatedly, in this case it is recommended to contact the service center specialists. Sometimes code E01 is indicated by problems with electronics, and interfering with it can be detrimental to the boiler.
