Hello
I wonder if the more knowledgeable here can help.
A relative of mine has an Ideal Isar HE28 boiler which was making a lot of noise occasionally. She turned it off recently because she thought it may just go kaput.
She called out an engineer and he advised changing the boiler, saying that the PCB probably needed changing and maybe other things. He gave her his quote to change it and that he could do it immediately etc etc. She told him to stick it back together and she would think on it.
I popped round to check it the other day just to see if what he said made sense. He had put it all back together but when I turned it on the display lit up for about 5 seconds and then went blank. No life at all. I tried reset etc and could not get it to display. I'm not sure what's happened - was this just coincidence? I checked the fuse on the PCB and that seems fine. Even opened the PCB casing and there isn't any water damage in there.
I know these are not the most reliable boilers as I have one myself and have had to get the PCB and pump changed. They are notorious for PCB failure. Amazingly this one still has the black PCB box.
Any ideas? Also, the Ideal Fixed price repair - does that mean they will pay for all parts and labour to repair, regardless? Thank You.
