Baxi 50HE Plus Boiler
Albatross
the reset button keeps coming on after short periods. I have check the
obvious i.e. a blockage in the condensing pipe. I have read that the
Baxi Combi boiler have experienced a similar fault which was traced to a
broken rubber seal, but I am not sure if this could be the same type
fault with the model I have, which is not Combi. Gas Engineers are
reluctant to pursue this possibility. Has anyone experienced this same
fault. Hoping you can help

Do you have a manual?
What are the reasons that the 'reset button comes on'?

section. When I referred to the reset button keeps coming on, it is
actually, the "lockout" red light appears and the only way to resolve it
is to press the reset button. Unfortunately, the lockout keeps coming on
several time per day. What I am trying to establish is why it keeps
happening. The gas engineers appear to be scratching their heads on this
one.

Is this a new installation, and has it *ever* worked properly?
A common cause of lockout is overheating due to the residual heat not being
carried away after the boiler stops firing. Does this boiler require pump
over-run? If so, has the pump been wired correctly, so as to be controlled
by the boiler? Does the water *always* have somewhere to go? [If it's an
S-Plan system, or Y-Plan with TRVs on virtually all radiators, it probably
needs a by-pass circuit. Is there one and, if so, is the by-pass valve
correctly adjusted?]

Do you mean the lockout light comes on? If so is it steady or flashing?
(most Baxi installation manuals have fault finding flow charts in them)

No idea if they are comparable, but I have placed a installation manual
for a 100 HE here:
http://www.internode.co.uk/temp/Baxi 100 HE.pdf
If that looks like it might be a more powerful version of your boiler,
the same fault finding charts on page 36 onward may help.
