Baxi (2) Solo 50PF

solopf · 17 Dec 2006

Any advice please, The PCB on my baxi buzzes for approx 5 seconds when turned on. This only happens when calling for central heating and the Draytom mid position 3 way valve is moving from the Hot Water to the Central Heating position. I have so far replaced the PCB and Drayton valve but the problem remains.

This is caused by the relay opening and shutting rapidly (chattering) due to a low voltage supply from the diverter, to solve the problem, you need a suppresor fitted across the boiler neutral and switched live.

Err ... sorry, what low voltage supply from the diverter valve would that be ?

baxpoti · 18 Dec 2006

From memory, as the valve moves it sends out aprox 85 - 90v ac, (measured at the boiler switched live) enough to upset the relay but not enough to start the boiler sequence, only trying to help!

Whatever - I'm still waiting for an answer

Poxi has given a totally useless, meaningless reply - no use to man nor beast

He also has a clue and a healthy disrespect for fitters

I'm making a point of being restrained

of course ... I could go back to my normal agressive self - your choice

and I will lay into you at every opportunity, of course

That wasn't aimed at you baxpoti , but Mr smart arse who tries to belittle anyone if he thinks he can get away with it.

He is a bully. just ignore him, he will go and try his little games on someone else.

From reading your previous posts its quite clear that you do have a clue about electronics on boilers.

But you are clearly "clueless" when it comes to respecting people.

I'm making a point of being restrained

You make it sound like we should be grateful

of course ... I could go back to my normal agressive self - your choice

Well if its my choice i would prefer it if you wasn't agrressive.

and I will lay into you at every opportunity, of course

Please don't, I'll do anything you ask
