Meant to post an update to this ages ago and forgot ! Called vokera the following day who advised that a solid amber light with no operational faults was Hot Water Preheat activated. Can be turned off if reqd.

Hi all. Replaced a HW thermistor on a Vokera Compact 29 today due to failure. Problem solved there. Noticed when I was finished that the Amber light is lit continuously (solid amber, not blinking). This is irrespective of wether the boiler is currently in use (demand) or standby (no...

Hi all long time no speak :D Worcester 350 Combi with "built in" digital timeclock. Extremely loud buzzing/vibrating from Relay RL1 on right hand side pcb (the one with two boards linked with ribbon connector). Overheat Stat has continuity. Low Water Switch = Live on white, Live on...

Could be primatic, Glasgow's full of the things. That aside, i still have no idea what the op is on about lol !

Hi guys n girls. Vokera Excell 80E. Rads heat up when hot water in use. Divertor kit fitted last week by a colleague of mine. I turned up today, tenant reported same fault as previously (rads heating up when hot water in use) so removed divertor kit to check if buckled/faulty/etc (it...

Im almost positive that there is a switch activated by a diaphragm & pin arrangement that keeps the fan running without a demand for heat or water. Its been a while since ive seen an Excel right enuff but from memory its located below the hw assembly. I cant remember if the pin should be in or...

Thanks for the led explanation which i have printed off for future refernece and to the "senior technician" at Potterton for his assistance on the phone. Problem was cured today with a new airflow sensor, yes i was right the first time by replacing it on my initial visit to the property on...

Afternoon all. Boiler is : Myson Midas SFI GC no. 47-494-04 Intermittent fault on HW, CH appears to work as per normal. Fault occurs approx 1 in 3 times. Here is my description of what i noted when the fault occured and some previous work done on the appliance. The initial fault was crappy...

I love the way u started with "Remember me" lmao Anyhooooo, glad it all worked out in the end.

:idea:

:lol: should've seen that coming ! TAXI !!!!

Im assuming u mustve had hot water over the weekend so it could be a gas pressure problem. I dont think it's fair to say anything wrong about the guy working over the weekend, maybe he wanted sum "overtime". In any case, why not just phone back the installer ?

I think there has been changes to this PCB now, though i have not had that confirmed as yet. Anyone ? I seen one that actually started smoking as i worked on the boiler which was a bit frightening lol !

Apart from sooted heat ex, if thats clear and flue is clear there may be a fault with the burner. I once saw one that had split at the side of 2 burner bars and was burning between the 2. Probs just needs a good service though !

Fantastic, i look forward to replacing more then ! My gaffer is trying to save dough by passing some back to Ideal which are just out the guarantee period. Aparantly they give a 2yr warranty when fitted in a new build property which is handy to know. Have seen the famous water leak a couple...
