Baxi Baxi 200/400/600/800 Combi 2 & System 2 Baxi 600/800/Assure System 2 and 600 Combi 2 platform fault E.01.20
Maximum flue gas temperature reached
Gas boilerWhat it means
Permanent fault requiring reset, indicating the flue gas temperature has exceeded the maximum allowed, likely due to a blocked exchanger.
Likely causes
- Exchanger on flue gas side blocked
- Burner surface cracks or damage
- Worn burner flange gasket
- Front insulation panel cracked, damaged, moist, aged or deformed
- Dust/dirt residue accumulation in combustion chamber
Where to start
- Check the cleanliness of the exchanger
- Isolate the unit from the power supply (disconnect the boiler from the main power supply).
- Cut off the gas supply to the boiler.
