Just for information BAXI 105E

Been fault finding on my old combi and having solved the problem I would like to share the solution with those who are still running the old Baxi Water Hotter!

Model of boiler is BAXI 105E combi - Not a condensing combi. This model is around 20 years old.

Nature of fault - No hot water, fan failure fault light on, and flame failure fault light on.

I initially changed the complete diverter valve assembly because the original one was leaking and badly corroded, although this was not actually causing the fault.

I traced the fault to a relay on the pcb which actuates the fan. For information, the relay is marked RL.1

This applies to a Honeywell pcb with the following markings printed on it -

CE 00518L 1810

CS0118E-LS

TYPE:MIDINT00

CD 995099 2

CD 565599 2 

I sourced a replacement relay from ebay, in fact I bought 2, since there are 2 identical relays on the pcb so I got a spare.

Relay part no details - 

TAKAMISAWA JV24S-KT

5A 30VDC

250VAC

SPST

Coil voltage is 30VDC, cantact voltage rating is 250VAC

I unsoldered the original relay and connected 30VDC across the coil and a multi-meter set to ohms across the contacts - result was open circuit.

I repeated the process with the new relay and got continuity across the contacts and a satisfactory click as the coil energised.

I had a spare pcb but that didn't work at all when I just did a straight swap. Anyway I hope someone finds this info useful.

  • Apparently it is a common fault which Baxi have known about for years, hence the revised pcb issues during boiler production. My pcb is dated June 2001. It is a shame that I cannot find a schematic or drawing of the Honeywell pcb, or at least a component designation for each item function. The 2nd pcb is a newer version I picked up for £29 off ebay but would not work when I swapped old for ‘new’. I don't know what the problem is with it though.

    I can hear plumbers all over the land shouting “What are you doing? Boilers are the preserve of the Gas Safe Cartel!” Well since I didn't break any gas tight seals to access the boiler electrics I don't know how they can complain!

    “Ah!” they shout, “And what will Baxi say about you modifying their pcbs unofficially?”

    Well any warranties ran out decades ago, so there!
