What does the Baxi Platinum F60 fault code mean?
The F60 fault code on a Baxi Platinum boiler indicates that the domestic hot water (DHW) temperature is excessively high. This can lead to safety concerns and requires immediate attention to prevent potential damage or hazards.
Common Causes
- Faulty DHW Temperature Sensor: A malfunctioning sensor may incorrectly read the water temperature, causing the boiler to overheat the water.
- Blocked Heat Exchanger: A blockage in the heat exchanger can restrict water flow, leading to overheating as the boiler struggles to maintain the desired temperature.
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 can be dangerous if handled improperly. Attempting to fix it yourself could void your warranty or lead to further complications.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for addressing the F60 fault could range around £150 to £300, depending on whether the temperature sensor needs replacing or if the heat exchanger requires cleaning or replacement.
