Hi there everyone,
I joined the forum to see if anyone can help with an ongoing boiler problem that just won't go away. If I had any hair left I would be tearing it out by now.
I have a Worcester Bosch 24i junior and it's been fine for years but 1 year ago the expansion vessel was replaced due to it being perished and everything was fine.
A couple of weeks ago, the boiler locked out and would only work for half hour or so. I had a plumber round and so far we have replaced the fan which seemed to cure it for 2 days then same thing so we had the air pressure switch replaced and same again, worked for 2 days.
Today the pressure went right up and the release valve let all the water out so I drained the boiler and pressure vessel and checked the seals and pressurised the vessel to 0.7 bar and filled the system very slowly again and turned it on.
The boiler gurgled a bit and started up fine and I checked the pump too and all was well. It ran for an hour and the flashing light is back on again.
Can anyone give me ideas what my next step is please and what could be causing the fault too.
Thanks for any help and much appreciated too.
Cheers again
Mark
