Hi I work for Team Energy(part of certas energy). Been a service engineer for just over 6 years now(no installs as I don't like getting dirty!). Hoping you could send me the link to the oil forum. Thanks in advance Steve

Have you checked that you haven't got water in the oil tank??

No worries - I've had mine (the xl) for just over 4 years and it's still going strong, the big handle takes a bit of getting used to but you can (and will) get quite a bit of weight in it but the shoulder strap makes it a breeze to carry. However if I'm servicing in a tight spot I can position...

If the control box is working it should go to lock out with the cell disconnected not run the motor constantly...

You could disconnect the photocell to see if the burner then goes to lock out to prove duff P/C.

Try a new coil 1st, it sounds as if it's failing to open (quite a common fault) I'd also advise wiring it back to it's own terminal you don't want it throwing oil into the combustion chamber if the spark ever goes intermittent.

Having the boiler serviced doesn't mean it can't go faulty, the guy servicing it can only comment on it's condition the day he's there, it's unfortunate when something does go wrong soon after a service but not necessarily the fault of whoever serviced it. See what he says when he returns, but...

It's rare but not impossible to get 2 faults and as per the oilhead post: I've come across the same on a HRM wallstar, bit unfortunate for the customer but you can only address the problems as you find them and advise accordingly. Did you agree 'mates rates' up front ? If so it does seem a...

Hi Jac The 1st part does sound like a motorised valve problem (possibly cartridge sticking), but if that's been changed and hasn't worked and now there's an additional problem I'd say you'd be better off getting a boiler man in to have a look rather than the friendly plumber. Does the boiler...

Have you checked whether the high limit stat has tripped?

Meant to comment on this too - the tigerloop requires fittings to be air tight to work effectively, the guy must've checked and tightened fittings so there should be no further work required on this. It can be hard when working for a large company to not be seen as a maverick if you go out of...

I'll start by saying that I don't condone the actions of the WB fellas but the 1st guy was was working within his remit, the terms & conditions of your contract with them probably specify that they only cover (i.e. work on) the boiler. It's a frustrating situation for the customer but that's the...

Has it been OK and now isn't? or is it a new shower?

Why not ask your oil supplier if they can recommend anyone?
