Baxi Baxi 600/800/Assure System 2 and 600 Combi 2 platform fault GM044-12
Shutdown caused by flame value being too low
Gas boilerWhat it means
Shutdown caused by insufficient flame signal/current detected.
Likely causes
- Weak or unstable flame
- Faulty flame sensing electrode
- Poor gas supply/pressure
- Dirty or degraded ionisation electrode
Where to start
- Check actual flame current measured (GM008)
- Inspect ionisation electrode condition
- Check gas supply pressure

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
