What causes the Baxi E55 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer loses track of the precise balance between gas and air needed for a clean flame. It often happens after a power cut, a sudden change in gas pressure, or if the internal components have worn slightly over time, causing the system to lose its 'fine-tuning'.

Typical repair cost £0-120 (including labour)

DIY fix possible
