2024 Baxi Boiler Error & Fault Codes
Baxi boilers are very reliable products. However, even the best boilers will experience problems from time to time. When you place your trust in a brand such as Baxi you would expect your boiler to always operate reliably and efficiently. Faults will inevitably occur and issues with your boiler will be resolved by simply resetting the error code, or calling out your local Baxi engineer.
This guide helps you understand what Baxi Boiler Error Codes are and how they can be fixed by an engineer. Our network of engineers have many years experience working on boilers, so you can trust us to help you and solve any boiler problems you may encounter.
Baxi 200 / 400 Combi Gas Boiler Error Codes
Baxi boilers are very common in the UK, and the 200 / 400 series is one of their more popular. It’s a boiler that needs to have some parts replaced occasionally, or it can get into an error mode (displayed on the display monitor).

Baxi Platinum Error Codes
A boiler fault can be anything from a clogged filter to an obstruction somewhere else in the system. These faults can be intermittent, meaning that they may work fine for a while and then stop functioning. Subsequently you will need to check the error code on your Baxi platinum boiler before your engineer arrives.
Baxi Platinum boiler error codes will all appear in the same way on your display, as FFF. The 3 digits are the error code that the diagnostic system is trying to tell you. The first digit refers to the function. Another digit denotes a specific fault and the final digit identifies a more specific fault within that function.
| Fault Code | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| E20 | Central heating NTC error |
| E28 | Error with the NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) flue, air pressure switch or blocked flue or condensate |
