Advice on Intergas HRE 28/24 not firing heating

[Dan Robinson]

The filling loop is the two black handles under the boiler. Turn the black bits so they are in line with the pipe.

Powered off and on again..... '1' in the window.

leave off for longer?

 

[lbstyling]

when power is off, the number reads 1.8.

when I open the black handle valve, the preasure on the unit is reading 3.0 and rising.
found bleed key point... open several turns for a few seconds?

 

[Dan Robinson]

TURN OFF THE FILLING LOOP

The pressure should be between 1 and 2. Why take it higher?


Use the drain point next to the blue valve to let water out and get it down to 1.5.

 

[lbstyling]

sill unsure is blue handle is in correct position.

When the black valve is in line with pipe, (only one black valve) main display reads '3.1'

 

[Dan Robinson]

The bleed key, as with all bleed keys just needs turning until something comes out - if that something is water, turn it off.

It air comes out. Stop turning until water comes out and then turn it BACK.

Do not fully unwind...



Have you read the FAQ?


You're at risk of causing more harm than good.

6L of water drained. pressure now reads 1.5.

 

[lbstyling]

air removed. Water is now at the bleed valve.

Did Kim send you IDS 1.8? silly sod is as IT savvy as a roll of masking tape... any chance you could forward it onto me? info@ jenningsheating.co.uk.

You got the cart and the horse the wrong way round mate, will see what I can do

OP the blue valve points towards you!

Good good.

Now... assuming all the rads are turned on... has the boiler settled down now?

I'm assuming the installer has carried out commissioning and completed the Benchmark section of the manual? Otherwise your warranty will be void.

 

[lbstyling]

the benchmark section is complete yes.

Rads are all on '6'. apart from the 3 evohome smart ones, which I cannot tell...

The boiler still cycles to '1'.

Blue valve is horizontal (points at me)

 

[Dan Robinson]

Then either the valves on the other end of the rads are turned off, or the pump is guffed.

The boiler should be staying on status 5 for a good while.


Also, not a good idea to just have some of the rads with Evo heads on.

You should have all except the bathroom under the evo control.

 

[lbstyling]

It couldn't still be the bdr-91 not feeding a 'on' signal to the boiler?

I will change the rad thermostats to the normal ones then and see if this changes anything, otherwise I will need an engineer then!

This did the same thing when I first fitted the thermostat, cycling through 5, 3 and 1.

This wouldn't be covered under warranty would it?

What do you think this might cost to repair?

 

[Razor900]

If the benchmark is correctly filled out and the boiler has been registered with building control and Intergas then yes it will be covered although I would expect your installer to be sorting it.

If the above hasn't been done then you have a problem!

 

[lbstyling]

Ok, looks like Ive tried what I can.

Assuming changing the Evohome valves over doesn't change anything, I will try and contact the installer.

Thank you both very much for all your help,
Its hugely appreciated!
