How do you light the pilot light on a Baxi Solo?

To light the pilot: Looking through the pilot viewing window press the gas control knob fully inwards and hold. Press in igniter button and release. Repeat until pilot ignites. Continue to hold in gas control knob for approximately 15 seconds and then release.

How do you reset a Baxi Solo boiler?

To reset the boiler, turn the temperature control knob fully anticlockwise. Hold until the red lockout light goes out, then turn the control knob back to the desired setting. If your timer is calling for heat, the burner light will come on to indicate the boiler has fired up and is heating your system.

Why does my Baxi Solo boiler keep locking out?

Baxi Boiler Keeps Locking Out This is not easy to diagnose without error codes. Asides from leaks, there are other problems that can cause a boiler to lock out including fault codes: 110 (overheating), to 160 (a faulty fan) or even 166 (air pressure switch fault).

Why is my boiler not igniting?

If the boiler is not igniting, there is a possibility the valve is blocked, seized or there is damage in the wired connections. No Pilot Light: When the boiler is not igniting and the pilot light has gone out, this usually means debris has blocked the jet.

Why is my Baxi boiler not working?

A common culprit for this fault on Baxi boilers is a lack of pressure. If your system is set lower than 1.5 bar then it won’t operate correctly. Now, the quick fix is to top up the pressure using the filling loop. Once you’ve topped up the pressure, you’ll need to reset the boiler.

Why won’t my boiler pilot light come on?

If you still can’t ignite the pilot and your boiler won’t turn on, there could be a problem with the thermocouple, i.e. the sensor that opens up the gas valve when the pilot light ignites. It’s essentially a safety device to ensure gas does not leak out from your boiler when there’s no pilot light present.

What do you do if your pilot light won’t light?

Check the Thermocouple If your pilot light won’t stay alight, it might be the thermocouple. Sometimes dust buildup collects on the thermocouple and blocks the sensor. Try cleaning the thermocouple and then relighting the pilot light. If it continues to go out, the thermocouple might need to be replaced.

Why are there no lights on my boiler?

If your boilers fused spur has blown, which can happen due to age or a power surge it will result in no power to your boiler. A Gas Safe Engineer will be able to check the fuse spur, replace it if necessary, re-test your system to ensure nothing underlying causes the fuses to blow again.
