The 6 most common faults

01
E01 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has failed to light or cannot detect a flame, meaning your heating and hot water will not work until it is reset or repaired.

What to try first

Check if other gas appliances in your home, like a hob, are working to ensure gas supply.Ensure your prepaid gas meter has credit if applicable.Press and hold the Reset button for 2 to 3 seconds to see if the boiler restarts.

02
E02 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has switched itself off to prevent overheating, usually because the water inside has become too hot.

What to try first

Check that your radiator valves are open to allow water to flow.Check your boiler pressure gauge and top it up to 1.5 bar if it is too low.Press the 'Reset' button on the boiler control panel to see if the fault clears.

03
E04 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has detected that there is either not enough water pressure in the system or the water is not moving through the pipes as it should.

What to try first

Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; it should be between 1 and 1.5 bar.If the pressure is too low, use the filling loop valves under the boiler to top up the water pressure.Reset the boiler once the correct pressure has been reached.

E14 High DIY-safe

Your boiler is overheating because water is not moving through the system quickly enough to be cooled down.

What to try first

Check that all radiator valves are fully openEnsure the boiler pressure gauge is between 1 and 1.5 barCheck for any signs of an external system blockage or frozen pipes

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Biasi 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
