Did you ever get to the bottom of this? My DWI612C does exactly the same thing. In every cycle it just starts for a second, beeps, stops then starts again for a second etc etc. No blockages or leaks, but I found the main suppressor had blown so I replaced it but no change. I then replaced the...

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have a DWI612C doing exactly the same thing with the same blown mains suppressor. I have just ordered a new suppressor and drain pump and am hoping I having wasted my money!

Thanks for the advice all. A blockage in the plate heat exchanger makes sense as we've been cursed with sludge in the system since we moved in 2 years ago. I've had to clear sludge out of the flexi hose to the expansion vessel on several occasions to cure high pressure problems despite having...

Now that "summer" is here I've noticed that the radiator in our bathroom starts getting warm when we use the shower. After the shower is used for 3-5 minutes the bottom of the towel radiator is warm. I know this shouldn't be happening as the heating timer is off for the summer so we only have it...

You're a star! Thank you. I had got into my head that you had to use the bike pump on the opening that the hose connects to! DOH!

Drained a litre or two until it came down to 1.5bar. Cleaned up and came back about 5-10 mins later and it was flashing 3.0 again. From what I've read of powerflushes I agree with you. Had to leave the guy with the mother in Law and go back to work. She thought he was "lovely" and after 2 hours...

Next chapter in the saga. Got a "corgi registered" outfit to come and do a power flush. they were done in 2 hours and did it on only one radiator. thought that was abit quick. A month or so later and the pressure is up at 3.2bar. Bled some dirty water out of the pressure release until it came...

Tell me how you unblocked it yourself!!!! I've wanted to do that for months!!!!!! I have had the same flexi hose problem on and off with our 30ci for a year or so. got an engineer to clear it but have since been afraid to do it myself as I thought you had to repressurize the expansion vessel...

We've bought a 1920's house and want to renew the insulation on the floor of the attic. The gaps between the joists vary in width(!!) but most are 250mm apart and 100mm deep. Don't particularly want to have to put in more joists to use loose fill and I know that I shouldn't really squeeze...

Sorry. When the boiler is on the pressure rises to somewhere between 1.8 and 2.3. ( Don't how to read the pressure when it's on as it changes to degrees C when running so have to turn it off to read.) It doesn't ever go high enough to flush from the PRV. It only ever did that once when we...

The thing is when we first started having problems, the pressure would drop down to 0.6 when the boiler was off preventing it from coming on using the timer. I had to manually increase the pressure to get it to start each time. I had an "engineer" spend two days trying to find the problem...

I do have the manual but would probably have to agree with you. Just not mad about paying £80 again Thanks anyway

We've inherited a Glow-worm 30CI boiler and previously had a pressure drop problem when the boiler was off. The Pheonix gas guy found black sludge in the Flexible hose at the base of the Expansion chamber. Problem fixed. Now 8 months later the problem is back. Pheonix charge £80 for an...
