From memory, plastic gas pipe should not be used inside a property because it would melt and let the gas out if there was a fire!

Well you really should get the pump connected back to the boiler. And the boiler needs to be connected to a permanent live. Your system have no pump over run at all and that will cause thermal shock to the heat exchanger immediately the boiler turns off. And it will prevent the frost...

No one replied so for reference searches I am adding a reply. The setting for pump over run time is in setting d1 in minutes. From 1 min to 60 min The factory default is 5 minutes. I would expect, but am not sure, that the actual time could be more than the set value if the temperature is...

The link should have been removed on installation when a remote switched live connection was provided. 3 is just a mains connection to enable a room stat to be connected between 3 and 4 if very simple controls are being used. Or just linked if no external connections are to be used. But that...

You say that the pump starts up! That indicates that the pump is not supplied from the boiler as is intended. ( that was the way of doing things in the days of cast iron heat exchangers before low water content boilers became the norm. ) This is so that the boiler can supply pump over run and...

But is there really any advantage having glass when light is not needed? Surely plywood would be as good for a fraction of the cost?

If the boiler is showing S30 which remains at S30 even when terminal 4, the SL connection, becomes live then it would seem to indicate a PCB error. But it all depends on the history of the boiler and it is always possible that an engineer's setting has been reset to a value that does not allow...

I have a front door with two wired glass panels. The lower panel is cracked and needs to be replaced. Wired glass is quite resistant to breaking and so prevents entry. But it is no longer made so what are the best options for replacement. It does not need to be seen through so plywood...

Yes, but it is built in to a fitted kitchen and I assume fixings to that are hidden behind the front door!

No cleaner should be left in and furthermore the system should be flushed well to get rid of loosened dirt!

What is your existing boiler make and model? I have managed to get many old boilers working again. That would give you a while to get a better idea of the best way forward. I think adding hydrogen to the gas supply is a good idea but not one the Gov seems to be progressing very much. Heat...

You should ensure that the motor turns freely. If not you may be able to lubricate the bearings. I use car engine oil as it is designed for high temperatures. Never WD40 ! If you have the right test meter you can measure the capacitor value. After shorting the terminals to ensure it is...

Yes that seems to be the problem. But to repair it I need to find out how to manage to open the locked door! There must be a solution that their warrantee fixers use to open it to repair under the warrantee.

I would say that they know that the mains water supply may prove insufficient and they know that a sealed heating system should normally be used. So they are fitting a lesser than ideal system to keep the cost down and explaining that they cannot guaranty against the need to do additional work...

I have tried all combinations of pushing and pulling to no effect.

That seems to prove that neither of them have proper experience of the topic. I suppose they just take the attitude that they are spending your money. As far boilers are concerned any kind can heat a cylinder. Sometimes a combi is cheaper! Using a combi to supply just the kitchen can be a...

Yes, but I have done that and it tries to unlock but just makes this clicking noise from top left and does not unlock! Turning the power off just make it go silent and remain locked!

So how can it be unlocked?

AEG Electric oven will not unlock its door after a pyrolitic cleaning cycle. It tries to unlock and makes a clicking noise at top left corner but does not unlock. The oven is only about 8 months old but owner seems to have lost all her paperwork. So should be covered by warranty. But what...

John posted that in 2009. He last posted something on here in 2010. So he is unlikely to get advised about your question. But you could try to send him a Private Message and if he is still alive and using the same email he might get it.
