Hi all,
I've been reading all about my wonderful boiler all evening after finding that it doesn't warm the water up like it used to. I set my boiler up to heat the water up for 30mins each day which is enough for me to have a shower and wash pots during the winter months. Recently though, it runs out of hot water or it's luke warm while I'm showering... no setting changed. Not fun!
When starting up my boiler it seems to flash the green light (which in the manual is call for heat) for a long period of time, then it ignites, stays on for about 5-20 seconds then goes back to the green flashing light. In my opinion, but I might be wrong, the 5-20 seconds that it's heating the water up is a bit too short...
Now from reading all the forums, this doesn't sound like the usual PCB fault (no lockout red light) but is there a way of checking this for sure?
I've tried the trouble shooting flow chart in the installation instructions and that seemed to point to the air pressure switch... Could this be the fault? How can I check this?
I was wondering if it could also be to do with the temperature sensor or overheat thermistat? How could I check if these are working ok? Could there be something else that is causing this behaviour? This stuff is all new to me so I'm not sure where else to look.
Many thanks peeps!
