What it is

The Baxi thermistor, part number POTTERTON404513, is a temperature sensing component used in Potterton and Baxi heating appliances. It reads the temperature of the water or flow path it is mounted on and passes that signal to the appliance control board, which uses it to regulate output and enforce its safety limits. The same component is also listed under the alternative number 404513.

Thermistors of this type are a service item rather than a wear part, but they can drift out of tolerance or fail outright over the life of an appliance, which is when the boiler's temperature control starts to behave unpredictably.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler locks out or shuts down shortly after firing
  • Flow temperature readings that disagree with the measured pipe temperature
  • Hot water temperature that fluctuates or runs erratically
  • Fault codes relating to the temperature sensor or thermistor circuit
  • Heating that cycles on and off more frequently than expected

Before you order

  • Note the model and GC number from the appliance data badge and confirm this thermistor is the correct item for that appliance.
  • Compare the number on the existing component against POTTERTON404513 and 404513 before removing it.
