My Baxi system 35/60 boiler gives me the 60degree triangle error "fault on pump or low pressure" once every few weeks. I unscrew the silver part holding the microswitch, spray silicon spray over the pump proving pin, refit the silver part, turn the boiler off and on again and it works for a few more weeks. See attached photo.
I am looking for a more permanent fix. I have seen videos replacing the diaphragm and/or cleaning the pin (removing the 4 silver screws on the gold front). I think this is what I need to do next. However in all the videos that I have seen the diverter valve has been removed from the boiler to show it is cleaned /serviced. I am not sure if I can remove the 4 screws with the boiler turned off and access the rubber diaphragm / proving pin or if I need to drain the water system first.
Do I need to drain it first or will I get a flood of water if I attempt to replace/clean the parts without draining it? I have never drained a system so would probably find a boiler person to do it but if it is simply unscrewing the 4 screws, and cleaning/replacing the parts then I am certainly capable of doing that myself.
Thanks
