My baxi back boiler is over igniting and beginning to smell smokey. Why is this and should i have it serviced?


The ignition flame does not die down as usual during the heating process. It has been burning yellow but is now a blue flame. Worringly, the blue flame does not just go up the back of the fire, but is been blown up the inside of the fire charring part of the fire’s mechanics. I have removed the grille at the base of the fire and taken off the front cover of the fire and cleaned out underneath the fire. I have attempted to remove all the dust and muck. This does not seem to have made any difference and the flame continues to stay ignited whereas before, it would ignite briefly for approximately 5 to 6 seconds then die down. Now it does not die down at all.

Please turn the appliance off, and get it checked by a corgi engineer asap. Your lives are at risk if you continue to use it.

    GET IT SERVICED ! Carbon monoxide poisoning is deadly and it creeps up without notice… a small leak can make you unwell for months without you ever guessing whats wrong
