What does the Baxi Megaflo E560 fault code mean?
The E560 fault code on a Baxi Megaflo indicates a problem with the central heating (CH) system return, which may be caused by issues such as blockages or pump failures. This fault prevents the boiler from effectively circulating water back to the system, impacting heating performance.
Common Causes
- Blocked Return Pipe: A blockage in the return pipe can restrict water flow, leading to the E560 fault code.
- Faulty Pump: If the circulation pump is malfunctioning or has failed, it may not be able to return water to the boiler properly.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
If you are experienced with plumbing, you may check for blockages in the return pipe and ensure the pump is functioning. However, for gas-related issues or if you are unsure, it is strongly advised to call a Gas Safe Engineer to avoid safety risks.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for addressing the E560 fault could range from £150 to £300, depending on whether the issue is a blockage or requires pump replacement. A new pump typically costs around £200, plus labour.
