Hi

A plumber came out to look at my boiler (Worcester Greenstar 35 HE Plus) as it was either failing to ignite or 'exploding' on ignition, he pulled out a broken diaphragm from the mixer (think it's p/n: 87155058830). He needed to order the part but because of Christmas wont be able to come back to fit it until the 29th. So my question is, can I safely use my boiler without this part?

Cheers

Either this is a joke, or the 1st of april has come around quick.

I doubt very much that the engineer will have removed that part without safely isolating the boiler. ;)
 
Well the boiler was kinda working with the diaphragm all broken up. As the plumber was leaving I asked whether or not I can use it and he said it's best not to but it wont blow up. Sitting here in a freezing house is no joke
 
Some boiler manufacturers choose not to fit this component to their boilers and some eg. Viesmann are happy for it to be removed since it's often problematic.

I would contact Worcester technical for their advice. The boiler works quite happily without the diaphragm (bearing plate) but gas engineers can only go by the manufacturers advice.

Given the speed of his response and the time it's unlikely the man from worcester had the chance.
