baxi insert 2 boiler

[Bravedave]

Hi all,

Having a problem with my baxi boiler, sometimes when the ch is switched on it will run for approx 15 mins then the grey plunger clicks out and the pilot light goes out, relight pilot but then will click out again after 2 min.This carries on for a couple of days then all of a sudden all works ok for 2-3 weeks then fault re-occurs.
HELP!!!!!

You need and rgi for this one i am afraid as unable to give out gas specific info.

Try getting someone recommended

It's not specific to talk about possible faults, for heaven's sake.

Thermocouple maybe?

 

[powell30]

You deal with it your way i'll do what i think is right.

 

[joe-90]

Why bother?

 

[powell30]

Look pal we both know there are plenty on here that will 'have a go' once we have done the diagnostics. I am not saying this OP will but as we both know it almost certainly requires an rgi to fix legally why do you bother to point the way....

You are either showing off your knowledge, don't care if he has a go or are not bothered you might be doing another rgi out of potential work.

Only you know which it is.

If he knows what the problem is and makes that clear when he gets someone out - then he won't get ripped off. No information re the repair is necessary.

And I'm not your pal. (I'm not anybody's pal. )

Stupid comment Joe.
OP, Ask the RGI to inspect the Pilot Assy and carry out checks on the flueing - never in a 100 years will it need a new t/lead.

One would suspect its not been serviced in a good while .

OP, you cannot repair this boiler yourself, albeit (probably) a simple repair due to lack of your maintenence.

If you dont trust an RGI, why use them?
