E12 — Water flow switch fault (still open)

Baxi · DUO TEC Boilers

What does E12 mean?

The boiler's differential water flow switch indicates that there is no water flow when there should be, or it's stuck in an open position.

Common Causes

  • Faulty water flow switch.
  • Low system water pressure.
  • Blockage or air in the heating system preventing water flow.

Repair Steps & Checklist

  3. 3

    If the problem persists, a qualified technician should check the water flow switch.
