Heat pump malfunctions: Baxi Error Codes
If you cannot find the error code explanation or need help resolving any issues, ServiceMy can help diagnose and arrange a professional heat pump service to restore your system to optimum performance.
| Error Code | Title | Explanation |
| E01 | High Pressure Fault | System pressure too high; often caused by restricted flow, blocked heat exchanger, or poor heat dissipation. |
| E02 | Low Pressure Fault | Refrigerant pressure too low; typically due to leaks, low charge, or airflow issues. |
| E03 | Compressor Discharge Temperature Fault | Compressor temperature too high; may indicate low flow, refrigerant imbalance, or high load. |
| E04 | Ambient Temperature Sensor Fault | Outdoor temperature sensor failure; impacts system control and efficiency. |
| E05 | Water Flow Temperature Sensor Fault | Flow temperature sensor fault; affects heating regulation. |
| E06 | Return Temperature Sensor Fault | Return sensor fault; may cause incorrect system modulation. |
| E07 | Domestic Hot Water Sensor Fault | Cylinder temperature sensor failure affecting hot water production. |
| E08 | Evaporator Coil Sensor Fault | Coil temperature sensor fault; impacts defrost and performance. |
| E09 | Condenser Temperature Sensor Fault | Heat exchanger sensor failure; affects system safety and control. |
| E10 | Water Flow Fault | Insufficient water circulation; likely pump failure, airlock, or blocked system. |
| E11 | Low Water Pressure Fault | System pressure too low; check filling loop, leaks, or expansion vessel. |
| E12 | High Water Temperature Fault | Water temperature exceeded safe limit; often due to poor circulation. |
| E13 | Defrost Fault | Defrost cycle failure; possible airflow restriction or sensor issue. |
| E14 | Communication Fault | Internal communication error between PCB or controller components. |
| E15 | Inverter / Compressor Drive Fault | Fault with inverter board controlling compressor operation. |
| E16 | Fan Motor Fault | Outdoor fan failure; may be electrical or mechanical. |
| E17 | Anti-Freeze Protection Active | System temperature too low; frost protection mode activated. |
| E18 | Refrigerant System Fault | General refrigerant circuit issue; requires system diagnostics. |
| E19 | Pressure Sensor Fault | Fault with system pressure sensor; may give incorrect readings. |
| E20 | EEPROM / Control Board Fault | Internal PCB memory or configuration fault. |
| E21 | Current Protection Fault | Electrical overcurrent detected; possible compressor or wiring issue. |
| E22 | Voltage Fault | Supply voltage outside acceptable range. |
| E23 | Pump Fault | Circulation pump failure or not operating correctly. |
| E24 | Flow Switch Fault | Flow switch not detecting movement; indicates circulation issue. |
| E25 | High Condensing Temperature | Condenser temperature too high; poor heat transfer or flow issue. |
| E26 | Low Evaporating Temperature | Evaporator temperature too low; possible airflow or refrigerant issue. |
| E27 | 4-Way Valve Fault | Reversing valve issue affecting heating/cooling mode switching. |
| E28 | Defrost Sensor Fault | Fault with defrost temperature sensor. |
| E29 | Discharge Sensor Fault | Compressor discharge sensor failure. |
| E30 | System Configuration Fault | Incorrect system setup or parameter configuration. |
