E133 is one of the most searched Baxi codes. On most current Baxi combis it means an ignition failure - the boiler tried to light and could not - and the most common reason is that gas is not reaching it. That is good news, because the first checks are yours to make. If the supply is fine, the fault is inside the boiler. Check your manual, as Baxi codes vary a little between models.
What's involved

Baxi E133 Fault Code in Coventry, done properly

Is there gas at the hob?

If other gas appliances will not light, the supply is the problem. Check a prepayment meter has credit before anything else.

Frozen condensate

On a cold morning the outside condensate pipe can freeze. Warm water along it and one reset often brings the boiler back.

Resetting properly

Use the reset as your manual shows, once. If E133 comes straight back, leave it off.

What gets checked on site

Supply and burner pressure, the ignition electrode, the gas valve and the flue. A part-level repair in most cases.

Good to know

Baxi E133 Fault Code — your questions

Is E133 dangerous?

No, the boiler has stopped itself because it could not light. Smell gas? Leave the house, do not use switches, and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999. A fault code is never a gas leak, but a smell always is.

It happens every few days.

An intermittent ignition failure usually means a tired electrode or a marginal gas pressure. Worth diagnosing before it fails for good in mid-winter.

How do I check the engineer is qualified?

Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card; the back shows the work they are signed off for.
