worcester 9.24 pcb urgently required

[mmalone]

guys, looking for a pcb for a worcester 9.24 its the older pcb thats now obsolete with worcester part number 87161463240 PCB W9355B ..

seen a couple but never bought from any of these places and prices vary, anyone uesed any of these ??

http://www.boilerpart.gbr.cc £54 from here

http://www.uk-plumbing.com £103 from here

http://www.pricerightheating.com £95.30 from here

boiler part would be my obvious choice but never used them before and dont know if they are even legit ??

what model is it

what PCB does it need?

this 1 mate as posted above ( 87161463240 PCB W9355B .. )

this is the older driver pcb

 

[corgiman]

whats the GC number of the boiler

the part number does me no good in me search

Worked a treat for me:

£128.93+VAT list price from Parts Center, their number 480588

Looks like this:

Dunno what stock is like though.

47-311-07 . although that boiler shows 2 different driver boards , one post 1990 and one pre 1990 - the pre 1990 is the model with 1 pcb and a fan relay switch (post 1990 has a fan pcb and a driver pcb)

its the pre 1990 driver board i need

thats the 1 dan has shown !! called worcester and they said obsolete, british gas parts desk also have as obsolete so didnt think hrpc would have it, prety pricey with them though..

at £54 from boiler part dont think i'd be getting a new pcb somehow ??

if you know of anywhere else corgiman please let me know thanks !!!

need to order it tomorrow cheers

I still have one but its been in the van for about 10 years. Will have to double check its the model you want but sure it is.

You are welcome to have it for the cost of postage if you like.

Drop me a PM with your email or contact number

Those PCBs are very reliable! Are you quite sure its the PCB ?

I once spent 3.5 hours trying to locate a fault on a 9.24.

I was wondering how to deal with a situation that I had never experienced before ( or since ) that I could not find the fault !

By chance I moved a wire and saw arcing INSIDE the pvc insulation! I had previously checked the continuity but I had used a higher ohms range and the carbonising was conducting and made me think it was OK.

Lesson learnt was ALWAYS check continuity on a continuity range or low ohms range !

My boiler is no longer igniting, and I've been told that the PCB is to blame. The odd thing is that upon taking it apart, the spark seems to work some of the time, but not all of the time. The wire between the PCB and the igniter was replaced which made the number of successful sparks much more frequent, and for a short while, the heating sparked up again, but very shortly after, it stopped igniting.

I've been informed by the British Gas engineer that this part is no longer available, which is less than ideal. Can anyone point me in the direction of a new part for this? I desperately do not want to have to buy a new Boiler

*UPDATE* It would seem that the boiler is firing up, but it just seems to take a little longer than it should. I just got the whole dramatic "Boiler at risk" speech from the Engineer. At the same time, he has said that there are absolutely no safety risks involved in using the boiler. Oddly enough, the next thing he offered was to get a salesman in to sell me a new boiler. I've just tested the boiler a few times now, and it is sparking up, but just taking a little while to do so. Could this really be the fault of the PCB or something else? Right now I have hot running water and radiators.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Simon.

What do you expect the BG engineer to do when they get a commission of about £25 for booking a quote appointment with you?

Hardly likely to encourage him to fix your boiler.

I would always say go to a competent independent who specialises in repairing boilers rather than just installing them.

Hi Tony, and thanks for your reply.

Just to clarify, I pay around £200 per year to this company to keep my boiler running, not for them to pitch up and say they want to sell me a new one.

As mentioned, the boiler is running right now, with the only problem being that it is taking a little bit longer to ignite. I saw the igniter spark perfectly when the engineer moved the igniter contact a little closer to the metal pin of the igniter (he moved at away from the pin again) He then decided that the fault must be with the PCB which he says is incapable of sending a strong enough spark to the igniter. If that is the case, I would imagine that it would not spark at all. I also noticed that there seemed to be something built up on the contact for the spark which I think could affect its ability to conduct the spark.

So basically, the boiler is working for the time being. Can the PCB actually be at fault or is it possible that the igniter is problematic?


Any assistance is appreciated.
