What does the Baxi Megaflo E260 fault code mean?
The E260 fault code on a Baxi Megaflo indicates a problem with the central heating (CH) flow switch. This fault typically means that the flow switch is not detecting water flow correctly, which can lead to heating issues.
Common Causes
- Faulty Flow Switch: The flow switch may be defective or damaged, preventing it from functioning properly.
- Blocked Pipework: Blockages in the heating system can restrict water flow, causing the flow switch to fail to detect movement.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for this issue, as it involves gas and electrical components that require professional handling. Attempting to fix it yourself could be dangerous.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for fixing the E260 fault is around £150 to £250, primarily due to the need for a qualified engineer to diagnose and replace the flow switch if necessary.
