From my experience with the csi 85 I would suggest an issue with the balancing of air.
Why would you assume that a gas valve had gone when it lets gas to the boiler?
The csi85 like all boilers have many safety features to prevent operation in the event that things are not correct.
I have...
I have been ringing around for a price on a replacement 3 way valve for a ravenheat csi85. Can anyone suggest why prices vary so much?
Plumb centre £147 +vat, Ravenheat about the same
Couple of web sites £90 and down to as low as £60
I did get one which was £23.50 + vat
Is this price...
I would have said that when I first got it (actually I did) but having lived with it for so long, I reckon I know all about it. Its easy when you know what to look for
I replaced my 3 way valve today with a part that the plumber suppies said would not fit. They wanted £147 plus vat, I paid...
I've just started my annual battle with my csi85 but by now I know what goes and what the signs are.
The fans are crap but that is also contributed to by condensation in the chamber due to poor fittings. This creates rust on the spindle so plenty of light oil...
The thermistors are really poor...
I've had my CSI to bits loads of times (I'm not CORGI registered or part P) and I'm still alive! Living with this boiler is really a labour of love.
The diaphragm is best removed and examined first to see if it has perished or split (or has some crap which is causing an issue) Simple thing to...
Its 3rd birthday is in March!
The corrosion on the mouth of the fan intake is sever as is the magnetic assembly and connections for power and earth on the fan motor.
This is down to ill fitting joints and a steam leak that occured twice on the primary heat exchanger feed (which requires a...
I read a thread some time ago suggesting oiling the fan motor shaft. It was so obvious I never bothered but having now done this, CH, DHW both fine and can run both without LED coming on. Temperature now hits max without any issues.
In the first 3 days of its life, Ravenheat did replace the...
I've been having the overheat/flameout RED LED comming on a lot.
Changed the overheat thermistat and the CH thermistat. This had no effect.
If I have the HW setting at the Min (the first position on the dial) and the CH setting on the min, the boiler will remain alight.
If I try and run HW...
I'll give it one more go then move to another forum..
If I have the CH and the DHW on simultaneously (that means theres water flowing through the tap, that's actually turned on as in it's got water coming out of the tap) and the CH is also on (that means that the radiators are hot as there is...
It must be the way I tell em!
Let me try and make this simpler....
The boiler goes out..... as in, stops working as in... it does not heat ANY water at all (no CH and no HW) ...as in, the RED light comes on...as in the gas burner does not light..as in IT STOPS HEATING..
Any clearer now?
You obviously misunderstood. When the CH and HW are being used simultaniously, the boiler goes out i.e. does not fire-up and the red light comes on. I can have either DHW or CH not both at the same time
I recently had a loose pipe connection on my ravenheat boiler that was leaking water and sucking in air. Tightened the pipe but now the issue is that I can have the CH on or DHW but not both as this causes the boiler to go out. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
