I'm getting the e168 code on my boiler, my boiler man called the potter ton help line for help, but it was a waste of time.

Intermittent error. Happening daily.
Lee Finley
Intermittent problem. Baxi technical told me it was most likely the diverter actuator. But it is still giving the e168 code.
Stephem
E168 appeared for no apparent reason. Fitter did not resisted the boiler so only 2 years guarantee instead of 5. Heateam call out £300, not sure what next?

Getting up with a cold house is no fun in December - error code showing E168 on a 12month old boiler. Reset and it goes away - very annoying.
Ashok R
I had this baxi boiler for 5 years the E168 comes very often I turn system off and reset then it works for a while
I feel baxi must change the PCB for free as it is defect for most of the baxi due tech boilers
Mark
Another victim to the e168....even reseting the boiler fails to work...think I will save the money trying to fix given others experiences and replace with a more reliable boiler
Andrew Davis
Me too.
Boiler not quite 5 years old. new PCB has now fixed the e168 fault.
Ami Hoggard
Just moved into a house with this problem, very very annoying, we have a baby, can't keep having the house go freezing cold overnight

I have had this EI68 code pop up and the boiler is only just over a year old ( Potterton Titanium 40 kw.
You don't expect faults like this on a year old boiler !
Julie spencer
Had my Potterton boiler fixed and now got error code e168 and can't get rid of it. Boiler man costs £65 + vat an hour and I cannot afford to keep getting him out !
Mondy
I've had the same problem, E168 Error code.
Tom
same e168 potterton should be ashamed,for not answering peoples problems,not a good advert.
William Henden
Same problem as everyone else,hoping British gas will fix it,but not holding my breath,
Andrew Henderson
Same Error Code as everyone else. What a joke. Potterton should be fixing these for free !!!!!
Keith Webster
How can Baxi who make the boiler ,not give a conclusive fault diagnosis to the faulty part that requires replacement. Money making scheme.
Safdar Ali
It's an absolute nightmare. LooKing to replace my boiler next year. My in laws has there boiler for over 15 years and not so many things went wrong as mone. .
Tom
This is a pretty poor show. A catch-all error code that menas "there was an error, but now I've been reset I don't know what it was" helps nobody. This smacks of lazy engineering. Not puttting it in the manuals, though, is plain patronising.
ERIC SWINLEY
these boilers should be replaced /repaired free of charge
Barry Cairns
Replaced the pump... £100 and fan... £158... then this code appears... not happy!
Teresa Flynn
Nothing but problems with this boiler
janet martinelli
Baxi does not stand behind product at all...worse in USA. Will never be tricked into purchasing another one.
Steve Pugh
E168 appearing after a replacement of regulator pressure tank and valve.. while this in hot water but no central heating for 2 weeks until engineer could revisit. The diagnosis at that point was the diverter valve so this was replaced at this point the boiler was retested but still no central heating so a good look revealed the loose wire which was then reconnected. After the engineer left the CH was working but an hour later E168 again. Still happening now 6 weeks later.
Keith W
Baxi Megaflo System 32 HE giving E168 for weeks now. Replaced pump, heat exchanger and PCB to no avail, well over £1k spent and still this error usually a few times per day.

After having been a former Employee of the company, I quickly realized the root cause of the Issue and when I spoke out they just tried to silence me and brushed it under the carpet, faced with discrimination I picked up and left. I'am an electronics engineer and understand the the problem well.

I have also had problems with Baxi Potterton combi boiler it is less than 9 years old, wrong PCB was in the boiler when installed and now after paying out £160 plus another £20 etc etc to have fan replaced in November 2014 and reset again and again E168 keeps showing and no hot water or heating, Heateam/Baxi need to resolve this problem, very expensive to have to call out engineer each time. Getting very annoyed, the house is cold every day. Someone needs to take the blame on the manufacture of this boiler.

E168 faiult. The boiler has been nothing but trouble since the house was built. Water pressure issues then the fan and now E168. Potterton need to own up and pay out for all us people who have suffered due to poor built quality and reliability

It is a known manufacturing fault so why do we as consumers have to pay for it to rectified. Item not fit purpose under sale of goods act.
Baxi should rectify this problem for nothing.

Hi, I have just been reading through forums as I have had received this fault from my baxi boiler. I was disgusted to read one comment from someone who said they used to work for baxi. They wrote: '' i have left advice on here before about the same problem with a similar boiler you can reset it and it may rectify the fault for a time but you will be forever resetting it i worked for baxi for a few years when these boilers were first sold and we were told direct from baxi about this fault and to keep quiete about it as it may be a manufacturing fault with there choice of manufacturer of the pcb fan runs boiler seems like it wants to work fan also runs E168 appears replace pcb that is the answer''
It seems to me that baxi take no care in looking after their customers if they are going to sell us faulty boilers which they knew about!!!

It is a known manufacturing fault so why do we as consumers have to pay for it to rectified. Item not fit purpose under sale of goods act. Baxi should rectify this problem for nothing.
