Baxi Baxi 600/800/Assure System 2 and 600 Combi 2 platform fault E.01.20
Maximum flue gas temperature reached
Gas boilerWhat it means
Maximum flue gas temperature reached, indicating exchanger blockage on flue gas side
Likely causes
- Exchanger on flue gas side blocked
- Carbon/soot buildup in heat exchanger
- Cracked or damaged burner
- Worn burner flange gasket
- Damaged front insulation panel
Where to start
- Check the cleanliness of the exchanger
- Isolate the unit from the power supply (disconnect the boiler from the main power supply)
- Cut off the gas supply to the boiler
