Hi,
Please help - I've got a 12 year Worcester 924 Electronic combi boiler that stopped working about a week ago.
Got an engineer out who said that the gas valve was faulty and also the air vent needed replacing. I could see water leaking out of the vent so that sounded legit but after replacing these parts at a cost of £290 the boiler only works for about 5 minutes before the trip switch trips - due to overheating.
I rang the engineer back and he said to stick tape over the switch as it isn't actually overheating but he said that the thermostat probably isn't working.
Sounds rather dodgy to me!
I'm also concerned he's fitted the gas valve when the actual problem was that the trip had tripped and either he didn't notice it or is trying to fleece me, the part was £200.
Any advice please!
