Listen to MickyG and get a decent bloke round and have a new expansion vessel added to it and i bet it works, probably cost just over £100 at most fitted as well!!
No Way, No Chance, No How,
The Plate feed turns cold into hot and wether there is a cylinder involved or not then the boiler does not know this.
Your cylinder maybe holds 3 bath fulls of hot water and again the cylinder nor boiler does not know how much its using.
Please remember that your...
Tell them to get a set of new washers and i garantee this will solve your problem, you have in my opinion a cracking boiler with a cracking setup, just get a decent boiler man in to sort this and get rid of the agro you are currently feeling!!!
The storage tank on the S Plan you talk of is...
NO
Summer mode as you put it means the boiler will only fire up when there is a demand for Hot Water IE you can turn every TRV up to 5 the room stat to 30 and have the Central Heating Side of your clock set for 24/7 and you will still only get Hot Water, yet if you turn it to winter mode you...
E168 NORMALLY equates to the ignition probe being to far spaced, and its a 3 quid part which is easily fixed with an allen key, sounds like this is your fault as you can get the boiler running which pretty much allienates the PCB, PUMP, or GV
What a load of balls, your customer never told you how happy she was with her brand new boiler but how happy she was with Hot Water.
The Baxi is by far and away the Best Boiler on the market right now in its price range, im sure the Platinum comes with a 5 year Garantee and ive never had one...
Known alot of sparkys to fit in a pump over run (believe its called) to stop CH pump seizing up in the summer.
It could also be that thy ar confused with how thier stat works as alot of people get confused with what it does.
I have maybe read this wrong but i am guessing the boiler is kicking in as it should be and forcing the pump to turn periodically on the CH side, now for your hot water have you checked to see if you have an immersion fitted and if so is it turned off as this will heat up your HW, without...
Baxi all day everyday and you can get a spacer that fits onto the Jig just ask at your local plumbs.
Here is just a small example of cost difference.
If the baxi plate heat goes its £38 + Vat for the part and for the installer its a 20minute job at most.
For the worcester the same part is...
How does your condensate run?
Undo te white pipe from underneath the boiler and blow down it reattach and try again.
If not it is most probably the flame recognition probe which is not realising the flame is there, both are minor faults on these excellent boilers
Your fan is doing what i tell customers is the wall of death, after running for so long it basically defies gravity and tilts into place, i garantee this is what it is and your silencer is only gonna waste you money, get the full thing replaced mate as you will regret not on xmas day!!!
Wont do it i dont think mate
Reasons why
1 it makes this noise whenever the boiler starts in morning
2 it also does it if you only run hot water (completely seperate from CH)
3 noise is only prominent from top of boiler
Your fan is on its way out!!!
