Hi, I am a RGI (CORGI number 95340). Tomorrow I am going to look at a Baxi FS401 that sometimes lights explosively. I have checked and cleaned just about everything on it. Sometimes the pilot goes out. I have fitted new thermocouples, replaced injector on the pilot burner checked the gas valve for bad connection, timed release time on the gas valve (35 seconds) to now run out of Ideas.
I am returning to the boiler tomoroow. Can you suggest any remedies? Above faults or malfunctions are random, so have yet to pipoint the component that is causing the boiler to light explosively or pilot outage to take place
Thanks for the info,Ideal have recently sold their share in Warmsure to Eaga,meaning no tie to Ideal anymore.At a recent team meeting our manager happily told us hes just won a couple of insurance company contracts,meaning we're going to be sent to anything and everything,lots of old crap thats not been serviced for years,i can see it coming.We're going to become another Homeserve. Thats why i want to move now before it goes pear shaped,i want to work for a manufacturer to concentrate on one range. Anyway,thanks again Ian
Hi baxpoti, Hope you dont mind me sending a PM to you,im going to the Heateam open day at Dartford next Sat,with a view to hopefully joining,(im currently a Diagnostic Eng for Ideal/Warmsure) Just wanted to get an engineers view on the company. I know what the moneys like etc,but do you just work on Baxi/Potty products? is it boiler only or system repairs as well? Any other opinions or advice for interviews etc etc most welcome. Many thanks Ian
