I have an ideal classic boiler in my kitchen. It works OK but has recently started really rattling and banging. This is transmitting to the pipes and rattling pipes throughout the whole house.
It sounds to me like the noise a moving part i.e. pump would make if failing. From looking at the manual it would appear that the only moving part would be the fan. Is this likely to be the cause of the problem.
However, it doesn't do it all the time, and it seems to work for quite a while before it does this. Would this lead one to assume it may not be a moving part but a heat related problem?
Is it possible to run the boiler with the cover off so I can see where it is coming from or is this dangerous?
Any other ideas?
