External Control Input Error
Furnace indicates external thermostat or control signal fault, will not respond to room thermostat
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Open-circuit room thermostat wiring, Faulty Baxi wired controller, Incorrect bridging of thermostat terminals, PCB input fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate power before working on control wiring.
- Check thermostat: Verify that the room thermostat or Baxi controller has power and is calling for heat.
- Inspect wiring: At the furnace terminal strip, check that the thermostat wires are secure and not damaged. Tighten loose screws.
- Test by bridging: Temporarily fit a link across the room thermostat terminals at the furnace (per Baxi wiring diagram). If the furnace now responds, the external control or its wiring is faulty.
- Restore correct wiring: Remove the temporary link and repair or replace the thermostat/control as needed.
