Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and close the cold water isolation valve before opening any water connections.
Steps:
- Check water pressure: Open a nearby cold tap to confirm good mains pressure. If pressure is low, contact your water supplier.
- Clean inlet filter: Close the cold inlet valve to the heater. Remove the inlet union and clean the mesh filter inside the Baxi inlet assembly. Rinse debris and reinstall.
- Inspect flow sensor/turbine: On many Baxi water heaters, the flow sensor is integrated into a plastic water block. Remove the sensor/turbine assembly and check for limescale or debris. Clean gently and ensure it spins freely.
- Check wiring: Ensure the flow sensor connector is firmly attached to the control PCB.
Professional: If E07 remains, the flow sensor or water block may need replacement, which is best done by a qualified technician to avoid leaks.
