What causes the Baxi E2 fault?
This fault occurs when water cannot travel through the boiler’s internal heat exchanger quickly enough to carry heat away. The most common reasons are trapped air pockets creating a blockage, a buildup of sludge in the system, or the internal pump failing to spin correctly.
This issue is frequently seen in autumn when heating systems are switched back on after being idle all summer, which can cause internal pump components to seize.
DIY fix possible
Check that the boiler pressure is between 1 and 1.5 barTurn off the heating and use a radiator key to bleed air from all radiatorsEnsure all radiator valves (TRVs) are fully openReset the boiler using the reset button
