Hot Water cutting out on combi boiler

[Daisypop]

and the bad attitude....poor old boiler is poorly and needs seeing to! given you some idea`s already....not much info to go on though, we got hairy balls not crystal balls....

Sorry but I don't follow? Please explain if you are genuinely interested in helping. If just abusing then please don't reply.

I'm sorry for those of you who have to be so rude for no reason. I am genuinely wanting to fix a very annoying problem.

I can't afford to pay up to £100 an hour for someone to look around (up to £300 I've been quoted to diagnose!). So I'm very sorry if I'm doing someone out of a job but I can't afford to pay for someone else to do it with those kind of fees!

Thanks for no help at all and lots of insults - I hope you never need advice!

100 quid should easily get someone out to diagnose the fault, hell for 300 i would drive from lancs with my compact spares and fix the thing for that i reckon!( providing its not pcb, valve or fan )

1. does heating work?
2. does green light come on next to tap symbol on boiler when u open a hot tap?
3. does ANY hot water come out of taps?

 

[Daisypop]

Yes as I said the heating works, hot water does start, yes the green light comes on, the red light comes on the boiler lockout light after about 30 seconds.

Does that have a bearing on how much I'll be quoted for repairs then? Thanks for your help.

get a ecommendation from a friend or relative, i`d take a guess that the plate heat exchanger is sludged up, easy to diagnose if there...gas pressures and other things need to be checked by an rgi

 

[Daisypop]

Can check that - ta, though it seems like an electrical issue to me?

 

[heatingman]

i'd go for a dirty plate as well, or possibly dhw thermister out of sync.

kitch0978 thank you sooooooooo much - we took the exchanger out and descaled it - it was full up! I've just run a steaming hot huge bath! Thanks again - you are great!
