What causes the Baxi E384 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal sensors detect a flame after the heating cycle has ended and the gas should be cut off. The most common reason is a gas valve that is physically stuck open or leaking, though it can also be caused by an electrical 'ghost' signal from a damaged sensor or a faulty control board.

Typical repair cost £120-350 (including labour)
