    Worcester Bosch 280 rsf fires up then stops

    Hi, Just wanted to feed back on my 280rsf problem. The problem was that there was a loose connection inside the connector for the pump that connects to the pcb. The hissing, bubbling and clanking was due to water boiling inside the heat exchanger and the water not being pumped away. I...

    Worcester Bosch 280 rsf fires up then stops

    Not trying to sound like a twit but that does contradict your earlier statement's meaning a little. The engineer did fix the problem, but at the same time the customer was overcharged by replacing a part that did not need replacing. It's a moot point and you get what you get on the day...

    Worcester Bosch 280 rsf fires up then stops

    Worcester Bosch 280 rsf fires up then stops

    Ben, Yes, as sure as: 1) PCB was replaced - I then put the old one back on as I just couldn't beieve it and all worked okay. 2) The HW heat echanger was replaced as I had the 'hot then cold then hot' water and then a year later I got the 'hot then cold then hot' water again. I cleaned...

    Worcester Bosch 280 rsf fires up then stops

    It doesn't sound good then.....I'm prepared to give anything a go as I'm going away for a week and I'm concerned about leaving my wife with 'worcester bosch' engineers who have in the past charged for non faulty things.....

    Worcester Bosch 280 rsf fires up then stops

    Ben, Nothing more than opening up the main gas burning area and hoovering out the area below the gas burner and specifically hoovering the gas burner and the pilot light. Also a bit of light cleaning of the gas burner panels with a cloth. Charlie
