4 months ago my Worcester combo boiler failed to start but as I have British gas boiler cover I thought they'd fix it...
1st Engineer arrived diagnosed faulty fan (appeared to run fine) fitted new one but problem returned a week later!
2nd engineer arrived diagnosed faulty air pressure switch and replaced it but problem returned within a few days.
3rd engineer arrived diagnosed faulty tubes that go between fan and air switch and replaced them and at least this time I got 4 weeks before problem returned.
4th engineer arrived and diagnosed possible moisture in tubes and I think cleaned them out and this time got 2 weeks before problem returned.
5th engineer couldn't find problem as it started working before he arrived
6th engineer blew up one of the hoses and it worked for 2days
Everytime they arrive it's always the same... Might be time for new boiler and I'm getting lots of calls from them regarding replacement boiler but as it works fine most of the time I'm not ready to spend that sort of money.
Should also add I've had 2 visits from a local engineer who got boiler working in minutes by blowing up the rubber tubes but as I've got gas care cover I want British gas to fix it.
