What causes the Baxi E119 fault?

This fault occurs when the water pressure inside your heating system drops below a safe level, causing the boiler to shut down to prevent overheating. The most common reason is a small leak in the pipework or radiators, though it can also happen if you have recently bled your radiators and haven't topped the water back up.

This fault is frequent in autumn when homeowners turn their heating back on for the first time or bleed their radiators to prepare for winter.

Typical repair cost £0-160 (including labour)

DIY fix possible

Locate the filling loop (the flexible braided hose) underneath or near the boiler.Slowly open the tap or valve(s) on the loop while watching the pressure gauge.Close the tap or valve(s) tightly once the gauge reaches between 1 and 1.5 bar.
