How do you reset a Baxi Solo 2?
Allow the boiler to cool if hot. Remove the lower door panel by following the instructions on the opposite page. Locate the red/brown reset button adjacent to the boiler thermostat knob. Press the button to reset the overheat thermostat.
Why is my Baxi Solo boiler not firing up?
To reset the boiler, turn the selector switch to the R (Reset) position. Hold for at least 5 seconds and release. The fault code will be replaced with the boiler’s current temperature. At this point on a neon indicator boiler model, the flame failure light will stop flashing and will be replaced with the burner light.
Why does my Baxi boiler keep overheating?
Why do boilers overheat? A common reason why boilers overheat and cut out is when hot water that needs to be sent to the cylinder, taps or central heating system is not circulating effectively. Normally, this is due to a failing pump or blockage in the system such as a build-up of limescale.
What type of boiler is a Baxi Solo 2 PF?
The Baxi Solo 2 RS is a wall mounted gas fired room sealed natural draught central heating boiler with range rated outputs as shown in the table below.
Why do I have to keep resetting my Baxi boiler?
If you find that you keep having to reset your boiler, it’s likely that there could be a fault with your heating system. This fault could eventually lead to a more serious issue such as a boiler breakdown, so it’s best to seek out a solution as soon as possible.
Why does boiler keep cutting out?
If the boiler keeps shutting off, it could be due to closed valves, air caught in the system or a broken pump. The boiler is switching itself off due to in-built safety mechanisms – if it did not shut down, then the boiler could overheat. A closed valve can also prevent water from flowing properly within the boiler.
Where is the pressure gauge on a Baxi Solo boiler?
When your boiler is not working, the pressure gauge should be set at about 1.5 bar. On the pressure gauge on the front of your boiler, the needle will be in the centre of the green triangle on the dial.
Why does my Baxi solo 2 PF 50 boiler fan keep stopping?
With a demand present for the boiler to fire, this Baxi Solo 2 PF 50 boiler couldn’t complete the ignition cycle. The boiler fan would start and stop repeatedly, on a very short cycle of under one second. This is a fault we’ve seen before on Baxi Solo PF boilers and is caused by damage to the boiler circuit board (PCB).
Does the Baxi solo boiler have a pilot?
The same printed circuit board (pcb) is used on the Baxi Solo 2 PF boilers, the Baxi Solo 3 PF boilers and the Baxi Solo 3 PFL boilers. There is no permanent pilot on the Baxi Solo PF boiler ranges so the presence of a pilot on its own indicates a fault state.
Why is my Baxi boiler fan constantly running?
The boiler fan would start and stop repeatedly, on a very short cycle of under one second. This is a fault we’ve seen before on Baxi Solo PF boilers and is caused by damage to the boiler circuit board (PCB). When we removed the circuit board we found tell-tale damage to one of the soldered contacts of a relay on the board.
How does the circulating pump work on a Baxi boiler?
The circulating pump connected to the Baxi Solo boiler is run from the boiler pcb (circuit board), allowing the pump to be run for a few minutes after a heating demand ends, to remove excess heat from the heat exchanger. In the fault state the boiler continues to send power to the pump indefinitely.
