Hi, today my ICOS HE12 decided to stop working now it's out of warranty and Barratts cover.
When the timer kicks in for CH, the boiler, sometimes, makes a go of starting up and sometimes does nothing and sits there until it's switched off. Reset button doesnt do a thing no matter how long you hold it or hard you press it in.
When it does try and work, it fires up for about 30 seconds before winding down again. During the 30 seconds, the display changes from a '0' to a 'c' and the white burner LED begins to flash. I can hear the "whump" of the pilot light igniting and the burner LED goes solid, then a couple of seconds later I can hear it all cut out and the LED begins to flash again. The display stays on 'c' after it stops and it will sit there until you turn it off or the timer hits the next on cycle.
During the startup I can hear a gurgling and banging coming from inside the boiler.
I've had a look at the condensate outlet pipe and it had a tiny amount of gunk in it but only a tiny dribble of water.
Last year I had to get an engineer out this time though because the CH/HW wouldnt turn off! He replaced a demountable actuator where the water tank is located, could it be something to do with this again?
Any suggestions welcome
