Quick answer
125
Water circulation or pump performance issue

Meaning
Baxi boiler fault code 125 usually points to poor water circulation through the boiler or heating system, often involving the pump, trapped air, or a blockage.
Likely causes
- Pump issue
- Restricted circulation through the system
- Airlock or sensor reading linked to poor flow
Safe first checks
- Check the boiler pressure and any obvious user controls described in the manual.
- Do not dismantle pumps, valves, or pipework yourself.

How to reset
- Try a single user reset after any permitted checks are completed.
- Arrange an engineer if circulation-related faults return.
When to call an engineer
