Help with Baxi Solo

telectrix · Dec 20, 2010

hi, problem with baxi solo boiler. lockout lit. burner led and mains led flashing. the legend on the flap says this indicates no water flow. was working fine till i had to turn off the hot water at the hot water tank to fix a blown joint . now it's locked out. pressing the reset just leaves the mains led on it won't fire up and after a few mins goes back to lockout

bleed the pump in the boiler at a guess

worth a go

Sounds like air lock......

Or a blockage - sure the joint you did is clean and hasn't restricted flow?

Is this a condensing boiler? If so, did the condenser outlet freeze while you were working on it? That would cause the symptoms you describe.

no to both last posts i,m afraid. trhe bust pipe was a redundant feed from the hot under the sink to the old washing machine . i just capped it with the old valve. water flows through all taps. the condensate froze 3 weeks ago and was disconnected and a bucket put under the boiler. it's definitely showing " no water flow, but there is water comes out of the drain above the boiler. looked at pump, no drain tap so can't bleed

I would get a plumber in mate

the pump should have a big flat head on the front, turn it to bleed it
