Hi all
Coincidently our Ideal Classic NF30 (around 25 years old!!) packed up the night before a service. The fan had seized and after the heating engineer applied a generous amount of WD40 it was going again.
A replacement fan assembly I can get for £250 + whatever the installer would charge to install. To me this seems like a lot of money to put into such an old boiler?
is it worth just leaving it and seeing how long I can get by with just lubing the fan? I understand the WD40 may not last but a fan lube night? I have also ready stories of people replacing the bearings in the fan so that’s an option too, doubt it’s anything that would interest an engineer though?
thanks for any help and guidance
