There are two overheat reset buttons on this appliance . To reset , remove top of boiler decorative panel . look for for small red button ,press to reset . Alternativeley google baxi parts arena and download installation instructions , look for fault finding page ,go from there .If no joy , you need to have someone who is familiar with this type of appliance to effect a repair .British Gas , and Baxi Heat-team , offer a fixed price guaranteed repair service ,hope this is of help to you .
Thank you so much for replying. I just wanted to clarify if Im removing the top panel on the front of the boiler or the top? and do you know exactly whatthe red buttons look like coz the ones that ive seen have like a cross in the middle but dont seem to go in when i press them.

Hi there,
I called Heat team this morning and they said that they could only send out an engineer on Thursday but because I have a baby in the house I decided to call a local company that said they would send someone out in an hour at 38 pounds /half hour which i said was ok thinking that it would just be a small job. Having looked at the boiler he said that there were two problems and would need new parts that will cost 248 pounds plus i will have to pay labour at the above rate. Anyway to cut the long story short i paid 558 pounds this morning. Boiler worked for about an hour and burner went off again. I called him back again, he had a look at it and said it was working ok but if burner went off again, i should turn off main switch and put it on again and the burner should light up BUT he thinks that i may need a new ignition pad and will need to get the boiler fully serviced. He left....15 minutes later the burner went off again. I have called the company back and they say that he will be back again tonight but Im so frustrated. I have paid almost 600 pounds to fix a boiler but its still faulty.....does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? I feel that Im being scammed here! I feel I should have just waited for Heat team to come on Thursday...that would have just cost me £250 rather than £580...pls help any ideas??

They dont touch them
they just call usWell this engineer claims that he has worked on many of these boilers in my development and knows how to work them inside out plus he is CORGI so i thought he would know what he is doing.
As a kinowledgeable engineer on this kind of boiler do you have any ideas on what may be wrong with it and what i can do to fix it?
