no power on boiler

[griffiths81]

i all,
please can you help with my crap ideal boxer boiler (c24).
it had a water leak coming from the diverter valve which in turn found its way to the pcb board,the leak has been stopped,my tennant used an airdryer to dry the pcd board.
1st off the power light & green with showing as on but have completley gone with no power at all.
its the pcb board broken down or could the chip fryed while trying to dry it???

thanks

While you are calling it a rubbish boiler the leak from the diverter valve is almost certainly caused by a failure of the installer to properly clean the system by power flushing before the boiler was installed.

Its not possible for anyone to say if the PCB was damaged by the leak or by drying it too hot. Much more likely to have been by the water leak.

Can you take and post a photo of the PCB?

This sounds like a Landlord trying to blame the tenant. Note the spelling.

If you buy cheapo Ideal boilers expect problems. Water leaking from a diverter is likely to damage the circuit board.

Your tennant (sic) had the right idea and it is very nice of you to suggest the blame may lie with him/her.

Next time buy a decent product and get it installed by someone who doesn't tender the cheapest price. Quality boilers have the circuit board enclosed in a water resistant enclosure to prevent such consequential damage, eg: Vaillant.

Might last longer.

Typical Landlord

I hate people like you - blame anyone but yourself.
