Not again,replaced 4 already!

Hi Money still very tight (unfortunately still off work) realise should ideally call engineer ! Wouldn't touch anything i shouldn't ! Just asking in case something obvious.

Hi again Would you believe the boiler is tripping again on hot water only (exactly as before) after 6 months of working perfectly. Any ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Flushed system with sentinel then added inhibitor,fingers crossed all seems ok,must have been sludged up. Unless it was replacing the flux capacitor that did it. Thanks all for your advice

Hi Had a new pump a couple of years back.

Hi Agile I have tried all positions on the boiler temperature knob over the past few months since its been tripping (from 2 to 6) to no avail. The system layout has not changed for many years so i assume all is connected properly. Thanks

Hi Will strip it all down tomorrow to take a look.

Hi Middlesbrough Do you reckon it could be the Boiler thermostat with it only cutting out on the hot water ? Are you familiar with the ff 250 ? Would that be the thermistor that fits into the heat exchanger and NOT the overheat thermostat. The...

Hi Think i'm gonna try some sentinel x800 and run for a few days (will study the instructions before use) Had a good read up and it sounds like it will at least clean some of the crap out, which can't hurt - can it ? With the problem being only random on the HW it's not totally blocked...

Thanks for the reply,can't see a bleed point but will take a better look later. The system hasn't had any changes to it for many years and was fine until recently. We live in a hard water area with loads of limescale,the system has had its share of cleaner and descaler over time. Will let...

Hi Looking for some help with my Boiler/hot water. Got an Ideal Classic ff250 its over 15 years old but been very reliable, problem is the boiler overheat trips out but only on hot water - all ok while the heating only or heating and hot water is on. Tried a new thermostat on the hot...
