The most common Baxi Duo-tec Combi GA problems

The faults most likely to send a Baxi Duo-tec Combi GA into lockout — with plain-English causes, what to check first, estimated repair costs and whether you need a Gas Safe engineer.

This model is discontinued. Parts can be harder to source and expensive. If repair costs are mounting, a new A-rated boiler may be the smarter choice.

The 6 most common faults

01
E119 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the heating system has dropped too low.

What to try first

Locate the filling loop (a flexible silver hose) underneath the boiler.Open the small valve(s) on the filling loop to allow water into the system.Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches 1.5 bar.Close the valve(s) tightly and ensure the pressure remains stable.

02
110 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has switched itself off because it has detected that the water inside has become far too hot.

What to try first

Check that your radiator valves are open and not turned to zero.Ensure there is enough pressure in the system (typically between 1 and 1.5 bar).Turn the selector switch to the reset position for five seconds and then back to 'onn'.

03
125 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has detected that water is not moving through the system properly, which is causing it to overheat and shut down for safety.

What to try first

Check that your system pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar on the gaugeEnsure all radiator valves and isolation valves under the boiler are fully openBleed all radiators to remove trapped air pockets

£150-£350
Parts
Circulation pump, Internal bypass valve, Water pressure sensor

04
133 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has tried to light several times but has failed, which means the flame is either not starting or not staying on.

What to try first

Check if other gas appliances, like a hob, are working to confirm gas supply.Verify that your gas meter has credit or that the isolation valve is open.Perform a reset by turning the selector knob to the 'R' position for five seconds.Ensure the external condensate pipe has not frozen during cold weather.

£100-£350
Parts
Ignition Electrode, Gas Valve, PCB (Printed Circuit Board)

05
135 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has lost its connection to the gas supply or cannot detect gas flow, meaning it cannot ignite to provide heating or hot water.

What to try first

Check if other gas appliances, like a cooker or hob, are working correctly.Ensure your gas emergency control valve (usually located by your meter) is in the open position.Check if your prepayment gas meter has sufficient credit.Press and hold the 'Reset' button for five seconds to see if the error clears.

Your boiler has detected that it is overheating and has automatically switched itself off to prevent any damage or safety hazards.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Pump, Diverter valve, PCB

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Baxi shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
