What causes the Baxi E385 fault?

This fault occurs when the electrical supply from your home to the boiler drops below the level required for the internal components to operate safely. The most common reason is a wider issue with the local power grid or a faulty printed circuit board that can no longer correctly process the incoming voltage. In some cases, loose wiring or heavy demand from other large appliances on the same circuit can also cause this drop.

This fault is more common during periods of extreme cold or high regional energy demand, as heavy strain on the national grid can lead to temporary brownouts or voltage fluctuations.

Typical repair cost £100-350 (including labour)
