Had this boiler fitted by WarmFront around 4 years ago and it persistently plays up. It's been serviced but not in last 15 months.
Latest problem is it fails to call for heat. We've also had issues with the timer, whereby it won't bring on the central heating when it's due but instead heats the water and conversley when central heating off the radiators still come on and it doesn't heat the water!
I can live with all that but not why it simply refuses to call for heat. All stats are ok including tank stat. Pumps were changed within 2 years as that failed. Valves ok.
Water drips from under boiler. Cleaned the sump thingy out and checked soakaway. All seemed fine. Now dripping starts and I release the water from the 21.5 mm outlet and leave the other open..So why is it behaving like there's a backlog somewhere..And shutting itself down? I restart it and turn off at mains..Sometimes works, sometimes not! I hate this boiler with gusto..All it does is whir away with it's noisy exhaust fan and precious little else!!!!
