Hi all, I was advised to sign up here and ask you chaps if you know what may be causing me problems...
We have a britony combi SE boiler and it seems we have a little problem.
We moved in a week ago and had trouble getting it stated (it hadn't been used for 8 months), it wouldn't light... It's auto ignition, so no pilot light.
However after turning it up to max and running through for 5 mins or so it seemed to work fine and has done so for the last week.
However this morning it cut out, with the shower running. The flame had gone out and the red error/alarm light was on. I pressed reset and it came back on, 2 mins later it cut out again. I tried resetting again, but no luck.
After a bit of playing, turning off and on etc I managed to get it started, but it now lights, comes on for about 10 secs, the water starts to get hot, then the whole thing vibrates and switches off. If I keep the water demand on then it'll light up again after and do the same thing over and over until it'll randomly decide it wants to sit there with the red light on.
Suggestions so far have been the pump or the flue may be causing backpressure and stopping the fan working.
Anyone have any other suggestions? And does anyone know where the best place to buys parts for this boiler is? I think they're out of production now, will this make life difficult?
Thanks
Alex
