I have one of the above which is about 8 years old, in the main it has been a good boiler.
About a year ago we had a storm with horizontal rain, some of which got into the balanced flue and stopped the boiler working. Our plumber came round, sucked out the pressure tube, and all seemed ok.
Since then, however, the boiler sometimes switches off for no apparent reason, it restarts ok by pressing reset.
Our plumber has changed the overheat thermostat, the temperature sensor and the electrode, but to no avail.
This failure may happen only once a fortnight or three times a day. Although it does not sound like a major problem, I am often away from home for prolonged periods, and am afraid it will switch off and the pipes freeze.
I don't think my plumber has any ideas as to the cause, have any of you encountered anything similar?
Thanks
