Hi, The central heating flow switch does have a spring.
But the hot water flow switch does not.
hope this helps

the baxi bahama and genisis were full of problems from day 1.80% fail rate i think i was told once from baxi themselfs.there are no springs in the flowswitches as far as i can remember.the last time i worked on 1 was about 5-6 years ago.ur problem could be a thermistor on the central heating side not allowing the gas valve to operate on high.the later models of baxi boilers were quite reliable 100e and 130's.i would consider replacing the boiler rather than throwing any more money at it.
