Hi Guys, I recently serviced an Ideal response 120 and after finishing the boiler will not light in CH or DHW. I damaged the seal on the Pressure sensing pipe. The one at the back of the plastic bit that screws onto the fan and i have also misplaced the square gasket at the end of the...

Right guys now i really do need your help!!!!!! Went back round to that job and pulled out the DHW sensor. Checked the resistance of it and it was 10 K Ohm when cold. I did a buzz test across the DHW overheat stat and it was fine. The heat was working fine last night and as i said the hot...

Just realised i have been talking a little nonsense. It should be the DHW sensor that i focus on and not the Overheat Stat i.e. The sensor isnt working so it goes straight up to max heat and the overheat stat shuts down the burner??? Are the DHW sensor and CH sensor on these...

Is there any chance that the fan/ burner unit wouldnt be seated properly and the products of combustion are getting into the sealed chamber and causing the overheat stat to operate?? Clutching at straws!!! I know tehre is a similar issue to this on Baxi Barcelonas. At the risk of getting...

P.S. This is located behind the fan.

Hi there, Just checked the manual and the i removed where from the DHW over heat stat. This seems like the likely culprit. Im certain i put the wires back on properly. Could i have damaged it in remving teh wires?? Will check it on the meter tommorrow. But then again if this is damaged...

I have just had the guy back on teh phonr there and he is saying that his hot water id staying hot for about 30 secs and then cutting off. Nightmare. The only leads i took off where off the thermostat directly below teh burner unit and teh ignition leads. Is there anything obvious i should...

Yeah i eventually got them out with an adjustable spanner but it must have been the first time the were ever out because tehy were a nightmare. AND i nearly snapped of leads going into the burner unit into teh bargain. Beads of sweat were forming!!!! G

Alright guys, Just back from servciing an Ideal response 120 and got caught out with not having teh right tool for the job. Hadnt the right length screw driver to get into undo the 3 screws for the burner unit and ended up wasting a lot of time getting it sorted. Anyone reccommend a...

The only reason i ask is that the last job i was at i released some pressure through the PRV and then it just kept running. I opened it up full and closed it again. Must have flushed any crap out of it. Im a bit wary of them to be honest. It doesnt mention in the mnauals anything about...

Alright guys, If a customer has overfilled their system and you need to drop it back down to 1 bar is it bad practice to do this using the PRV. I was checking through a manual of a Chaff et Maury and this is how it tells you to drain down the boiler. However from chatting to other people...

Yet again guys you were right, It was my old friend modulation!!!! Can i just tahnk you again for all your help on this one. I have learnt loads. Went through everything with the landlord, she is delighted and has given me another two houses to look after each year. At least now when...

I didnt get a chance to check any of the above as i was already late for my next job. There isnt anyone in the house at present so ill be back there tommorrow. I know i am totally cutting my teeth on this one but the learning curve is totally welcome. Well check everything off tommorrow and...

Yeah that is what i am doing myself at the minute but thought tehre might be a 2 in 1 out there. grill

Can any of you guys reccommend a good suck and blow hoover for use when servcing gas boilers and where to get it?? Thanks Grill

Hi again, Go make a cup of tea. The saga continues. Got my mate round and he sized the pipe and we found that the pipe size was more than adequate. So i scratched my head and decided that i must still have crap at the gas valve. So i screwed the bugger off and hey presto loads more...

Sorry wa strying to add a bit of humour. Was well blocked though. Am heading over now to check out the pipe work with an installer friend. Will let you know the score later. Grill.

Agile, I already had the gas valve off and removed about 4 Kgs of Copper sulphide from it!!! This didnt improve the situtation at all. I will just give her the AR notice and get her to sign it saying that no appliances sgould be used until the pressure issue is sorted. Grill

Fair enough guys, Know as you rightly state you cant be too safe. Just wonder how many boilers out there are sitting in the condition merrily nearly killing people. I will go through the whole thing with her tonight and clarify the whole situation. As you rightly state it aint bloody...

Okay i see what you are saying. I wasnt going to down this route as the only issue flagged so far with the low pressure is that the water wont heat as quickly. I will show her your response, minus the tight b&*ch bit and take it from there. I obviously cant sign off on the landlords...
