How to Reset a Biasi Boiler: Step-by-Step
Time needed: 5 minutes
Resetting your Biasi boiler can often fix minor issues. Here’s how to do it safely:
- Locate the Reset Button
Look for the reset button on your boiler’s front control panel. It’s usually marked in red or shown with a flame or circular arrow symbol.
- Press and Hold the Reset Button
Press and hold the reset button for 5–10 seconds until you hear a click or a soft noise—this means the boiler is attempting to restart.
- Watch the Display Panel
After releasing the button, check the display screen. If successful, the boiler should clear the fault code and begin its startup cycle.
- Check Heating and Hot Water
Turn on your heating and hot water taps. If everything works normally, the reset was successful.
What to Do After Resetting Your Biasi Boiler
After performing a reset, it’s important to monitor the system. Here’s what to check:
- Display Panel – Make sure no fault codes reappear.
- Central Heating – Ensure radiators are heating evenly.
- Hot Water – Turn on a hot tap to confirm water is heating correctly.
- Boiler Pressure – Check the pressure gauge. It should read 1.0–1.5 bar. If it’s too low, use the filling loop to top it up.
Common Biasi Boiler Fault Codes
Understanding boiler fault codes helps diagnose issues and decide if a reset will help. Here are a few of the most common:
Error Code 04 – Air Pressure Fault
The boiler can’t detect proper airflow. This may be caused by a blocked flue, dirty fan, or a faulty air pressure switch.
ER 02 – Temperature Probe or Safety Thermostat
The boiler isn’t reading water temperature correctly. A faulty sensor or thermostat could be the issue.
ER 06 – Gas Supply Problem
Gas isn’t reaching the boiler as it should. This might be due to a blocked gas valve or low gas pressure.
ER 15 – Water Temperature Issue
The boiler can’t heat water properly. A faulty temperature sensor or a problem in the heating circuit is likely.
When to Call a Gas Safe Registered Engineer
Resetting can solve minor problems, but if any of the following occur, stop and call a professional:
- Boiler pressure is too high or too low and can’t be adjusted safely.
- The boiler keeps locking out after resets.
- There’s a smell of gas or you suspect a gas leak.
- The reset doesn’t clear the error code.
- There’s no hot water or heating, even after a reset.
Conclusion
Learning how to reset a Biasi boiler can save time, money, and stress when problems occur. A simple press and hold of the reset button for 5–10 seconds can fix many minor faults. But if the issue keeps coming back or fault codes persist, it’s best to call in an expert.
