In detail: do-it-yourself baxi main 24 fi repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Italian gas boilers Baxi occupy a solid place in the heating equipment market due to their high efficiency, stable operation. even in adverse conditions and thoughtful stylish design... But, despite their high reliability, sometimes in the work of Baksi boilers malfunctions occurcaused by violation of operating conditions or failure of individual elements of the boiler. Most often, you can eliminate them yourself, without resorting to calling specialists.

The Baksi line of gas boilers includes a number of models that differ in volume, type of installation, and functionality. Moreover, the principle of their work is generally similar.

The most popular boiler models:

  • Baxi Luna
  • Baxi Slim
  • Baxi Main four
  • Baxi Main 24 fi (Baxi Mine 24 fi);
  • Baxi Nuvola
  • Baxi EKO four

By installation type gas boilers are divided into wall and floor.

Wall heater fixed using special brackets in any convenient place, which makes wall models very popular. Closed-chamber chambers such as the Baxi Main 24 fi offer increased efficiency and environmental friendliness in a small footprint.

Coolant volume in the heat exchanger depends on the model, in the most powerful it reaches 80 liters. By functionality model can be single-circuit - for heating, or double-circuit - in addition to the heating system, they also supply the DHW circuit.

Work they can both on natural gas and liquefied, from cylinders, which makes it possible to install them in non-gasified areas. Boilers completely volatile and require an AC voltage connection.

The principle of operation of gas heating equipment:

  1. The sensors analyze the temperature in the room, and when the minimum value is reached, they give a signal to turn on the circulation pump.
  2. The pump turns on, creating a vacuum in the return pipe, while the heated water enters the heating system.
  3. The microprocessor gives a signal to ignite the burner at low power, it gradually increases, and the coolant heats up to the temperature set by the user.
  4. Further, the boiler operates in modulation mode - it maintains the temperature within the specified limits, turning on when it drops.

At any of these stages, a malfunction may occur, which the boiler notifies with the help of coded errors..

Possible malfunctions of the boiler Baxi Main for, Baxi Main 24 fi, Baxi Eco for:Image - DIY baxi main 24 fi repair

  • the burner goes out immediately after switching on or during heating (error codes e01, e04);
  • the boiler cannot be ignited;
  • overheating occurs (error code e02);
  • the water pressure in the system drops (error code e10);
  • extraneous noise is heard in the work;
  • pops occur in the combustion chamber;
  • the coolant does not heat up to the set temperature;
  • one of the sensors fails (different error codes may appear).

The most common reasons for the appearance of certain malfunctions, according to the specialists of the service centers, can be:

  • improper installation of the heating system;
  • errors when connecting the boiler to the mains;
  • water ingress on the board, into the burner or into the electrical part of the boiler;
  • poor quality of network water or other heat carrier;
  • a sharp drop in gas pressure;
  • the mains voltage drops or inadmissibly increases.

The resulting malfunctions can be easily eliminated by adjusting the boiler, but sometimes it is necessary to call a specialist to replace the boiler parts.

If you are not confident in your skills in setting up gas equipment, it is better to contact a service center.Improperly performed repairs can lead to complete failure of the boiler!

When an error code appears on the boiler display, it is necessary to determine the malfunction according to the classifier attached to the operation manual... Codes, as a rule, indicate a number of malfunctions, therefore, in addition, it will be necessary to check the condition of the components and assemblies of the boiler. Some breakdowns can be fixed on your own, how to do this is described below.

This malfunction occurs when phase-dependent boilers, for example, Baxi Main or Baxi Main 24 fi, are incorrectly connected to the mains: if the "phase" and "zero" are reversed, the boiler operation is impossible due to the accumulation of air in the system. With this malfunction, an error e01 appears on the boiler display, and the coolant pressure drops.

  • make the correct connection of the "phase" and "zero";
  • bleed air from the system;
  • add coolant;
  • turn on the boiler and make sure that the e01 error has disappeared.

The "phase" can be determined using the color coding of the cable cores. If the installation is made with a single-color wire, or you doubt its correctness, then you must use a voltage indicator.

This situation is possible in several cases: when the pressure in the heating system is incorrectly set, as well as when the diode bridge or the valve responsible for the gas supply is faulty. The e01 error also appears on the scoreboard.

If the matter is in the settings, they can be corrected, guided by the instructions of the documentation for the boiler. In the event of a malfunction of the components, it may be necessary to replace them.

Error e01 is displayed on the board. The most common reason is low gas pressure in the line or incorrect setting of its lower limit. If the gas pressure is unstable and constantly drops, it is better to set the lower value to around 5 mbar.

Error e03 signals serious problems that can lead to boiler breakdown. You can fix it yourself, the reason may be:

  • incorrectly mounted smoke exhaust system;
  • faulty fan;
  • inadmissible narrowing of chimney pipes;
  • the appearance of condensation in the chimney;
  • faulty pneumorel;
  • lack of electrical contact between the board and the relay or the board and the fan.

In models with a closed combustion chamber, for example, Baxi Main 24 fi, the cause of the error e03 may be an incorrect parameter setting F-43.

Another malfunction that occurs when the gas valve is incorrectly set, the minimum and maximum gas pressure limits. It must be adjusted according to the instructions in the instruction manual.

Most often it occurs when the burner control board or the gas supply valve fails. Testing is required, replacement of the board, sometimes together with the valve.

The reasons are the failure of one or more sensors. Their replacement is required, after which the boiler operation becomes stable.

Relevant for double-circuit boilers Baxi Main for, Baksi Eco for, Baksi Luna 3 Comfort and other models. The temperature in the hot water supply circuit drops sharply or gradually. The cause of the malfunction is a breakdown or incorrect operation of the three-way valve.

To be sure of its malfunction, you need to turn off the double-circuit boiler, wait for the coolant in the system to cool, then close the valves that lock the heating circuit, turn on the boiler in the DHW heating mode and check the temperature of the coolant and hot water. If the valve breaks, it will be warm in both circuits.

Specific pops in the boiler combustion chamber can appear for several reasons:

  • gas pressure drops (error e01 occurs);
  • the gap from the igniter to the gas pipeline does not meet the operating requirements, it must be 4-5 mm;
  • the flue gas draft is too intense.

If any of these faults are detected, adjustments are made:

  • change the minimum gas pressure limit by 5 mbar;
  • set the correct gap;
  • regulate traction with a damper.

The appearance of the e10 code on the electronic control unit of the Baxi Main 24 fi boiler or another model indicates several possible malfunctions:

  • a decrease in the pressure of the coolant due to blockages, leaks, pump breakdown;
  • malfunctions of the minimum pressure switch itself;
  • loss of contact between the control board and the relay.

To eliminate the e10 error, you need to check the pressure in the system according to the pressure gauge on the safety group, to exclude leaks and blockages. If these measures did not help, and the e10 code does not disappear, you need to check or replace the board or the minimum pressure switch.

It can be caused not only by improper operation of the boiler, but also by the occurrence of blockages in radiators, pipes, when filters are clogged. This most often occurs when the quality of the coolant is low, which causes the deposition of rust, salts, solid inclusions.

To eliminate this malfunction, it is necessary to turn off the boiler, remove blockages and fill in a high-quality coolant in order to avoid a repetition of the breakdown in the future.

With a heavily clogged system, the temperature drops, and the boiler efficiency drops sharply, which leads to a deterioration of the microclimate in the house and excessive consumption of gas. To extend the service life boiler Baxi Main or other model, as well as to maintain high efficiency it is necessary to periodically clean the heat exchanger using a special device and cleaning liquid.
