Baxi Solo HE18 lockout

[wardr77]

For about a year my boiler (baxi solo HE18) periodically locks out, works ok after resetting for another couple of weeks before doing again then again before reset doesn't work.
Engineer comes out, cleans electrodes which seem pretty clean when he showed me and all works well again for 3-4 months before the whole thing starts again, engineer been out 3-4 times now and the time between visits is getting shorter, last done a couple of weeks ago and had first lock out red light yesterday . Should the electrodes be replaced do you think or could it be something else? Thanks in advance

How old is it? There is potentially a list as long as your arm that can cause this.

It was put in in 2007...

I'm a little reluctant to give advice regarding this fault as it's combustion/gas related and any DIY jobs can be dangerous.

I'd recommend getting Baxi (heat team) out to do a fixed price repair, they know this boiler/fault better than anyone.

I wouldn't try to fix it myself, just wondered what the fault might be...

Sure, I understand that. Even so, this could end up being the main heat exchanger which is expensive so I'd let Baxi take the hit.
